ARP Head Studs (Which is better?) Which is better? The standard 6pt. or the 12pt. nut?
I will installing these with the motor in the car.
Also i am procharged with nitrous.
Why do they have a 12pt?

I just installed ARP studs in my SS this weekend. My advice would be to install the M8 studs only, to hold the gasket, then install the M11's after the head is on the block. I put in all of the studs and then found out that the head wouldn't go on because the SLP headders wouldn't move enough to give clearence. I had to remove all the M11 studs then replace them after the head was on. My $.02

no, I unbolted them and pushed them as far as they would go, twards the wheel wells, and that was enough to get the stock heads off, but not enough to put the new heads on with the addition of the studs.

Don't be too worried. It wouldn't have took as long if I didn't have to do it over. It's really easy. The most time consuming thing is cleaning the deck and bolt holes, but that must be done with extreme care. Don't be like" aww f*%k it, it's good enough" cause the bolt holes have to be clean for the proper torque readings and the deck can't have gouges or old gasket material on it. I'm not trying to make it sound like an impossible chore, just get a comfortable pad to set on your intake housing and clean away!
