Re: ARP HEADS BOLTS VS STOCK If you plan on having the heads off again in the future then the ARP bolts are prolly best since they're reusable. Also ARP bolts just need to be torqued down, none of the torque to yield turn 50* crap you have to deal with w/the stockers.
If you never plan on having the heads off again or only after a few years then you'd prolly be fine w/the stockers (new of course)

Re: ARP HEADS BOLTS VS STOCK Get ARP head studs (not blots...studs).
They are stronger, reuasable, don't cost a lot more than factory bolts, just torque (no angle-torque gauge needed), and having studs in the block actually make is EASIER to install the heads (act as a guide).
