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.
