You pay some for the name ARP for the head studs, but you also get a product that is worth the assurance. the development of there studs is ridiculous, you could go to your local hardware place and make what pro comp is selling (not really this in not true at all) but thats how much i feel has gone into there testing of there studs.

well you got done hard.. And china Steel is a lower grade which I don't know since they are moly... but the crap is the same... just like valve springs, and rings there are 2 main Manufactures makes the parts.. everyone just buys the product and slaps there name on the side and jack up the price 110%

Regardless of what the china studs say 97 to 03 blocks have 3 different lengths of head bolts..... 04+ are all the same length. Yes I own the blocks to prove it as I hoard 6 liters lol.

What I was saying for my statement was letting the person or person's know which set to get if they buy The studs. and they need to know if they need the same length or the 3 different length set.. I know this by cause I bought the PC2465 and the studs were 2 inches longer... The PC2454 are the same size and the same length... Studs are made in USA though....

I'm sorry but I have a hard time believing that the ARPs and ebay china studs are the exact same product. I want to see proof because I've read of the china studs snapping in half at 80 lb/ft.
