ARP studs are in!
I just installed my new ARP head studs! It's about time, I know... Anyway, the installation went just great, only a little grinding on the valve covers and she was done! They have new shorter tower bolts, which I'd heard were a real bear before.
Wish me luck on holding my 90+lbs of boost.

Studs went right in with the engine and head in place, same as bolts. I'd tapped the block threads and everything was smooth as could be.
I do have a couple pics, but have to get them from the digital to here. I'm techno-challenged, but I'll try soon.
I thought they did a nice job with the article too. Side note: Industrial Injection provided killer injectors, but my pump is not yet modified (besides GSK and DV's).

4K from PDR and their lazer-cuts as well. I've been using them both for several years now and am quite happy.

Good job on getting the studs in, hope they hold the pressure. I read your interview with Diesel Power, and I'm cheering for you to break 11.5's ASAP
Nice looking 12V BTW
