if that is all your going to run you will be ok with bolts from ARP.

In your opinion 10,15 psi asking already
Have a set wonder should use or just order studs

I ran arp bolts to 18psi never an issue went to studs just because I swapped motors but with that low you won't have a problem. You could do ebay studs if you didn't want to spend money

5-7 psi you could use stock bolts.

I'm running 8lbs of boost on my otherwise bone stock supercharged Silverado. Stock heads, bolts, rotating assembly. 110K on the motor with zero issues.

I ran arp bolts to 23 psi with no problems. If you have a "push water" tune up, there isn't going to be much difference in bolts or studs. Don't get me wrong, the studs are better, but a pump gas street car should be fine under 20 psi on bolts. If I remember, there is a significant price increase with the studs huh?

Yeah, specifically the studs cost almost double what the bolts do.

Yes, The bolts are more than sufficient. We use them in plenty of boosted engines.

Only prob I have seen with ARP bolts is they can break when torqued past recommended value. Either with LS9 gaskets should stand up to 20+ psi. I agree under 15 psi or so and good tuneup stock bolts are fine.
