anyone use ARP head bolts instead of studs?
Reason I ask is I have a set of ARP head bolts from my heads/cam days. I don't recall seeing any FI guys use them. I know studs would be the best choice, but would the bolts I have do the job?
setup is stock shortblock, small cam, LQ9 heads. Max of 575 rhwp.

bolts are fine, as long as they are good quality like arp, and you follow the correct trq. sequences. studs are better, but can be a pain to use. just food for thought, LPE uses stock gm head bolts on there 1100rwhp vettes, so i would say arp bolts should work awhole lot better.
