My old motor had 4 year old regular ARP studs and saw 30psi before I owned it and 25psi under my ownership. No issues. Upgrade to the aged studs if you're still on the fence, but you don't need 1/2" studs.

If the money is there, go 625.

If not, it's no big deal. And either or for the Athena gaskets. They could lessen any need for biggest or better studs.

Just some info, Tick told me torque the 1/2" studs to 120lbs. I've currently got ARP 2000's torqued at 100lbs, so I'll do the 1/2" next time the engine is apart.
