arp main studs required for lsvtec rebuilt?

 

arp doesnt make a mainstud kit for the ls bottom end and no its not required but it would be good thing to have but definatley run arp rod bolts

in my ls vtec im running a gsr girdle main caps and an arp mainstud kit for the gsr also arp rod bolts and shot peened rods balanced crank and balanced rods

 

did anybody else with lsvtec replace their main studs? if so, which main studs did u all use?

You can use the b16 kit. Same exact thing.

can anybody else verify that the b16a main studs the same thing for b18b?

 

I have them in my b18b, they're the same.

 

i've got them too. definately upgrade those if u don't have the girdle and are gonna rev past 8-8500rpm

 

i don't have the girdle but i'm not gonna rev past 8. do i still need them?

i'd say 8k is the max without the arp studs. 7.5k max with out arp rod bolts and main studs.
