 OEM or ARP? Deciding on wether to go with OEM headstuds or ARP?
I'm not planning on becoming a drag queen or putting down huge numbers.
20psi and evo 3 is the biggest for my goals.
What would be the better part?

Re: OEM or ARP? even if you were gonna run a T25, ARP's. Not like they are super expensive, and they will save you in the long run, and you can even re-use em too.

Re: OEM or ARP? OEMs are NOT re-usable. Once you take em out, you gotta buy new ones. MSRP for the OEM ones are 5.00ea. Most dealers Mark it up 50% or so. So you are spending $75 for a set of OEM head bolts. ARP's are $100. Save the lunch money for a a bit and get the ARP's.

Re: OEM or ARP? I guess my post made it sound like i meant the stock ones can be re-used, but what i meant to say is the arp's can save you and unlike the stock ones, you can re-use them.

Re: OEM or ARP? I deffinately wasent going to re-use the old ones. Either way like you said it Sam I was going to buy new ones.
But ARP's seems to be the way to go.
Thanks again guys.
