Oh well, spend your money how you see fit.
A 500+ WHP street driven DSM is not that uncommon these days. There's a hell of a lot of DSMers pushing 60+ lbs/min on their set-ups and they are lifting their head and blowing gaskets. It all boils down to the standard ARP's stretching. not because they are junk, but rather, they just aren't being used on the engines that they were designed for.

Back in the day when you were the shit for having a 380HP 20g powered 1G, the standard studs were fine. It seems we've up'd the par lately. And that's why vendors can't keep the A1 studs on the shelf. There ARE alot of people out there that need something like this.

Your admin said it best here.
