Default ARP Head Stud Kit?

Hey fellas,

Since I am building a GSR motor anyway, would it be smart to get a ARP Head Stud Kit?

Would someone be able to tell me what they are actually for? O.o
Are they just 'Tougher' bolts? or aint it that simple?

Is this an fair price though? (Sounds of expensive, for bolts) ^.-

thanks in advance

Did you try comparison shopping instead of asking us? You might find it cheaper.

Will do, thanks.

I hope you dont mind, but I simply cant find any solid information about where this kit is all about..

If I translate "Head Stud" to my language, nothing positive either xd

Could you maybe tell me in different words where these "products" are being used for?

thanks.

First of all you know what a head stud is right? Instead of being a bolt like OEM they use a stud and a nut. Yes way stronger then OEM. YES buy them if your going turbo. Check eBay I believe I got mine for less then $120

Then I truly don't know how YOU plan on building an engine then. You should just contact a place that builds them and have them do it. I foresee disaster otherwise.
