ARP, I'm not risking cheap ebay stuff lol

I dont particularly see the ARP as expensive in the first place though.

I have ran them on multiple engines boost and spray 150shot, my car ran 12psi all day long then I turned it up to 21-22psi with factory 243 with factory ls2 head gaskets with no issue, i was guessing 730-770 to the tire on the 20+psi , I did hurt the engine but never any head problems.

Yea, Im gonna go check out that thread in the internals section... Maybe someone over there have had "bad luck" with them.. No one on this thread hasnt ...

I dont believe the ARP studs are expensive either... However, for someone that is truely wanting a "budget build" on their $500 or less engine, this could very well be a be a corner to cut ESPECIALLY if they are not trying to boost and just make a strong NA motor..

Nice participation guys!!!
