Are ARP flywheel bolts worth it?

[Gilly17]

I'm going to be installing a new South Bend Clutch along with a ACT streetlite flywheel and I just wanted to know if it was worth it to get the ARP flywheel bolts. I've seen a couple of conflicting posts where people say the stock bolts are fine and I've seen others where people say they suck. I don't want to have to buy the ARP if it's not necessary but safety and reliability are my top priorities, just looking for a bit of insight!

Stock bolts dont suck but ARP gives you peace of mind that you will come home with your legs, God forbid the flywheel has any issues. It's just safety. I use them on my motors if they aren't stock.

I've been running OEM bolts since day one, even with a twin disk/dogbox and going 9's, never seen any sign of issues with the bolts.

I sell 99% OEM flywheel bolts and 1% ARP flywheel bolts, for single, twin and triple disk applications. Loctite Red (Loctite 273), 35/70/100ft/lb star pattern torque spec. Just have the correct length bolts for your application and components.
