Torque to Angle Indicator for head inst.?

Would it be better to use the FelPro torque to angle indicator tool (TRQ-1) or the LS1HowTo method to install head bolts? Thanks

I don't think so. Torque angle is the OEM method.

Buy a torque angle @ autozone for 9.99 and do it right. It is the only precise way to know exactly how many degrees of stretch you added.

Is it worth the money to go with ARP bolts? Just regular torquing method and reusable.
