hmm..
never seen those before,
but if you compare they are alredy stronger than the stock TTY GM uses on the stock ls engines. i would say i have considered them for a build now.
if they are better than the stock bolts alredy i wouldnt see any harm using them in a mild non forced induction motor.
on my watching list

If I were on a TIGHT budget I might try them, but for peace of mind I'm glad I went with ARP Head Studs. Maybe read some of his feedback and see if anyone has had a problem with them. But you gotta remember and I know you've heard it, "You get what you pay for.". Skimping and cutting corners on a engine build will spell $ and disaster later. Just my 2 cents.

i have used grade 8 bolts on ls1 motors before with no probs. however the head size correct thread bolts are hard to find.
i even use allens bolts to replace the 10mm bolts found on the covers and such

i bought some also. The seller claims they are just as good as arp and have been tested over and over again on nitrous, turbo, and n/a setups. they are reusable he said they are of the same quality of arp but not paying for the name.

if u dont mind, when u install them, make thread or post here about, fit, quality, finish, etc. im sure it would help out many.
