arp studs

[Aproductions]

I need some arp headstuds but I don't know which ones to get. could anyone help me out here?

 

[inneed4dsm]

well what are you trying to achieve

 

[Aproductions]

my head not lifting. haha

I will want about 400whp with my holset H1C.

I have 9:1 pistons and I shouldn't need a TON a boost to achieve it. But maybe some room to grow.

 

[rommel rojasgsx]

u said it room to grow. i go with L19 . not cheap but i rather do it right the first time

 

[vannaksgsx]

Were you thinking of Undercut vs. Standard?

 

[Aproductions]

the l19 are way too expensive for me.


and yeah standard vs undercut.

can I use just the regular arps or do I need the best?

 

[TSIfreek]

I dont like the undercut studs as they dont hold torque meaning they stretch as the standard studs dont stretch as much torque up strong and last longer.
If this is for a 7 bolt I would go straight to the real good L19s MAP sells. They are worth it as the seven bolt studs are slimmer than the 6 bolt head studs and need all the help they can get.
If its for a 6 bolt head go with the standard.

I don't know man... WTF

Unless you plan on going Shep or Davis on us, I think standard will be just fine. Even then, they prob got some alien technology...

 

[TurboJimbo]

I agree, you'll be just fine with the standards...also be sure to use a good headgasket

yeah I think I will go standard for $100 if more people agree on here.

and yeah I'm going mls and will have the head and block perfect

Use the extra money to get a nice deck, if you haven't already done so. Get a quality HG that suites your application.

*Check out the thread about using copper/sealant on your mls, its really interesting. Science says no, experience says yes.

 

[Aproductions]

so I should?

 

[vannaksgsx]

...up to you. I sprayed. Check out this info first, if you haven't already. Pretty cool stuff...

There are a few guys around here running the standard ARP's at or in excess of 400whp with no problems at all. Unless you are shooting for a balls to the wall throw money around build, you should be super happy with the standard ARP's.

Standard Arp's get the job done for the money
