I just ordered a set of studs from scogg & dickey and i have been hearing that the nuts tend to loosen up from several people...under normal street driving conditions..i am not running a blower or turbo..but i am running a 175 wet shot and i am concerned about this problem..if anyone could check their studs in their spare time..just run a pass on either head in sequence to check and see if the nuts turn any when going down to 70 lb. ft....thanks for any help or insight i can get <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> later,

it's important that you "pre stretch " them , by that i mean torque them down to spec, then lossen them up and redo this 3 times. i also went up to 85 ft/lbs on the torque wrench.

Heat cycling after the 1st TQ set might loosen them up as per above.
