L19 bolts a good idea? Just wondeirng if anyone feels ARP2000 bolts or L19 bolts would be a good addition to a shortblock built for FI? Im wondering as a speed inc rep told me the regular ARP bolts are fine and thats what was in their around 1000 RWHP 370? Whats everyone elses feelings about it? Better safe then sorry, or waste of $? Also, EXPLAIN why you think what you do. Gives your answer alot more credit that way! 
Thanx for anyones input on this.

Humm this was actually my post i accidently put it up on my buddies name though. The guy at speed was practically encouraging me to leave whatever bolts were in there alone. He said no one gets L19's, i asked for a price and he said he isnt sure he would have to find out etc etc and just made it sound like a big hasssle to do. So i told em to leave the stock ones, im gonna have to call em tommorow as their closed now.

think he means the stock, as in the standard 8740 alloy chrome moly bolts, that come in Eagle rods...instead of upgrading to the ARP 2000 or L19 bolts...

Yeah i sooo want a set of those but they only do special runs and no one has them anymore...........
<- Another nobody
I think plain Eagle rods were ~350, Eagle rods with L19's were $450 when I bought them... For a motor that's got $$,$$$.$$ invested in it... hundred bucks didn't make a big difference to me.
