Default Which ARP bolts?

I will be installing my heads and cam soon on my 04 MN6 and I'd like to know which bolts to buy. Do I buy head bolts, main studs, etc.? If you know the part # that would be even better.I already have a harmonic balancer bolt for the underdrive pulley. Thanks
Jason

Studs are better than bolts, but are more expensive. The head bolt kit is just over $100. I have a new set of stock '04 GM head bolts for $20.
If you want them let me know. Remember that there is a different set of bolts for '04 and later. If your just doing this once, I would go bolts
JMO. See any of the online sponsors for ARP stuff.

I know someone that works for ARP, so I'm hoping to get a deal. So, not factoring in costs, go for the stud kit over the bolts, right? I saw a thread on here recently where the guy was selling both(studs and bolts). They were both used and really dirty. I thought it was one or the other so I was a little confused.

The studs are best and its easier to install the gasket on the stud to keep it in place. Wish I had a friend at ARP...
