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

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?

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.
