Head Studs
I have arp head studs in my current setup. It's a stock ls - 300whp. I am finishing putting my new motor together.
Ls bottom end with
gsr head
gsr cams
Holset Hx35w
Victor X + 70mm tb
The gsr head came with a set of aftermarket head bolts. Topline or something like that. I plan on making around 400hp. My question is how much power can headbolts take before head lift becomes a problem? If you have stock headbolts how much power are you making and have you had headgasket problems? I don't really care to buy a new set of studs but will if it is necessary...

Re: Head Studs
ARP head studs will hold around 900hp I think.
The stock ones I wouldn't trust over 400. I will only be pushing 330ish and plan on using ARP studs. Better safe than sorry.
