ebay ls head studs
 

so i know a few guys using the ebay head studs and altho while torquing them down it seems scary, they havent had any problems with them, even being reused..

just looking for others experinces with them.

I used a set on my N/A 6.0 so they're not being pushed hard, but are working just fine. I did buy two more sets for upcoming turbo builds, so that'll be a good test for them. The two I just bought are apparently made by Pro Comp, so you know they're shit, but i'll cross my fingers, haha.

Is pro comp bad?

yea my buddy has them in his 5.3 with a whole boat load of nitrous... and theyve held up fine no issues.. i was wanting to use them on this budget 5.3 turbo build im doing...

Ive used a set for my ls1 with nitrous that worked just fine. My brother has used a set for his lq4 supercharged 9psi and im using another set for my 4.8 turbo build that i will try to push 800 rwhp with

looks like we in the same boat then.. just ordered a set so we will see how they workk for me

Great to hear they are working for yall.
I'm getting ready to order some.
$70 sounds so much better than $50 stock turd bolts and $200+ ARP studs.
I feel like ARP is by far the best studs on the market, but you are paying for the ARP name/advertising cost.

just my .02 cents

I do believe that you get what you pay for with ARP but there is a good competitive market...

With the ARP studs you are going to get a product that you can rely on and trust. You won't be sweating bullets when torquing them down. With the eBay studs I would be worried while torquing them down as their quality control probably isn't nearly as good as ARP. Fishing a broken stud out of the block won't be fun. I used ARP studs, but I would try the eBay ones next based on some positive reviews on tech.

A lot of their stuff is junk. It's a company with horrible quality control, so most everything is hit or miss. There studs aren't too bad though...
