I'm sure there is a benefit over using regular bolts. But if you take 2 fasteners rated at 190,000 psi, one a stud and one a bolt, will the engine know the difference?
Maybe there is something on arps website that can explain it.
Idk... Maybe someone like @BIG CAT would know more details?Quote:

Hell yea. Maybe some experience can chime in. Only thing I see on arps website is studs allow more accurate torque loading
There are spare parts all over the shop, might as well.Quote:

Im going to take a 2 week job in paducah, ky. It starts Tuesday so I'm hoping to have the car running before then. I'll be starting it up on stock injectors and UNsupercharged this time. No more ring wash for this guy
