Maybe, maybe not, depends on your exact block. ARP mains aren't needed for most builds, but they are probably cheaper than getting a new stock set of main bolts for the non-reusable ones on the 7-bolts and Evos. I would do some ARP L19 or A1 H11 headstuds before even doing rods/pistons. The heads usually start lifting before you even reach the limits of the stock rods/pistons in a 6-bolt motor. And normal ARP head studs are next to worthless over the stock bolts in DSMs/Evos.

Thats true, my last set of arp's stretched really bad and caused my cometic HG to split on cylinder number 1. I'm planning on getting the L19's this summer.

If you plan on running the boost neccessary to make 500hp on DB's dyno, L19's would probably be a worthwhile investment.

There is a huge thread on dsmtalk talking about how shitty the standard ARP headstuds are. Stock 6bolt head "bolts" are actually stronger than the standard ARP's.

now that you know to talk to craig at oreilly's and use are mitsustyle discount you could have saved a ton of cash on all the parts you just bought. with are discount there it is cheaper than any local shop
