ARP stuff is so nice and my cars are loaded with them. One of the nicest things about their head bolts is the small diameter head that allows you to use a smaller socket. Also, they provide some clearance for header flanges that love to bump into the lowest row of head bolts. It's no fun to start grinding head bolt notches into a set of freshly coated headers!

Factory (used or new repro) on restorations and mild builds, ARP on hotrod stuff.

ARP on my Camaro, but I've got a bucket full (actually it's a potato chip can) of the Chevy bolts.

I’m running all factory used bolts but my engine is only around 475-500hp.
