Head bolts...?

The shop told me if money wasn't an issue get ARP if it was get stock for my head swap. Are they really necessary on a heads/cam car? I mean I'm not making 1000hp lol.

The big thing with arp bolts is you can reuse them. So if your like me and the heads come off often get arp bolts or studs. If you dont plan on lifting the heads any time soon go with the GM's.

Agreed, the main benefit of going with the ARP's, if you're not going big power, will be that they are reusable whereas the GM bolts are not.
