Re: head studs? Whats the best?

Best headstuds out there are A1's. Shep, Rau and others use them. But, they are quite expensive-I paid 200 for mine, but usually they cost around 600-660 a set. Also, they don't prevent things from happening..Rau blew out his headgasket on the friday evening, weekend of the MCSO, and I've never seen soo much damage to the studs or nuts till then. All they do is clamp the head down to the block..that's it. So, you gotta look at what happened..perhaps a better hg? keep in mind DSM's will push a little coolant under boost..
