LS1 Cylinder Head Stud Kit 4.8L 5.7L 6.0l l92 Extreme | eBay
They say they're 190,000psi so they're comparable to ARP's but at a 1/4 of the price.

 

I've never heard of them and at a 1/4 of the price of ARP I think u know te expression u get what u pay for. If they were reputable as ARP then ARP would be out of business.

 

i use them. they work great

 

Plenty of guys on tech use them and plenty are scared, lol. I only heard of one bad set. A guy had a stud snap when he was torquing it down.

 

Here's a thread about them.

Is this true or just joking?

Seriously its hard to interperet posts so im kindly asking LOL.

Im sure that ARP , even though they are very reputable cant be the only player in town , and could possibly make parts that are re-branded or re-named like other companies do ?

 

LOL, I really use them. I used one set in my turbo motor and my 6.0 and then I bought a new set to go in the motor we built last year. ARP is only 200,000 tensile strength and these are 190,000. I didn't figure 10,000 was a huge difference lol We torque them to ARP spec's using ARP lube

 

My friend used them in his 6.0 Nova, he is 65 and has been a gear head all his life so I trust his decision on using them.

 

The next motor I build I'll try them out. Thanks for the link, a lot of tards in that thread. I just can't see these things being softer than the stock headbolts.

 

I use them too.
