Default No ARP Head Bolts?...

I was told by one our vendors that ARP doesn't make any head bolts for the LS1/LS6 yet. Is this right and if so what are you guys going with if not stock?

ARP actually makes a "stud" for the LS1/LS6 application. We have used them on several of our customers cars. Very nice stuff :cheers:

Got my MMS 388 in yesterday. Went to the shop today to look at it and it had ARP head studs on it. Looked nice!

ARE can get you the ARP studs with your head/cam package. They use them on every motor they build pretty much.

No, but ARP makes HEAD STUDS which replace head bolts.

I wonder why he didn't suggest them, or just let me know they were available.

There must have been some sort of confusion as to what you were looking for if Nick didn't suggest ARP Head Studs when you asked about ARP Head Bolts..

Anyways, I believe the are around $275. Give Nick a call and he will hook you up.

They aren't a necessity with a heads/cam package, but they are a good idea if you dont mind spending the bucks on em.

They sure are pricey. I'll have to think about that one. I'm not taking the heads on and off that much. They should come out with the bolts soon, I hope.
