Are ARP Studs Working?
I read about a lot replacing head bolts with ARP studs but never see any feedback on how well the studs are performing. Anyone had any problems with puking once the studs are installed? Are you running the same tunes and driving your rig the same after the studs were installed with no problems? Anyone having problems with the bottom ends (cranks or rods) now that the weak link HGs and head bolts were replaced with studs?
Just curious before I do the stud upgrade to my X.

Good question, I blew the gaskets at 9k and had the studs put in. Not much of a chance to test it since due to other issues the dealer created (leaks and now injectors are failing). But I am curious how much this engine will take with the studs in it now. Has anyone had a gasket failure with the studs?

I've only heard of very few ( 1 or so) people having puking problems after the installation of ARP headstuds along with new gaskets, EGR valves and EGR and oil coolers. I do really think that this is due to the heads being warped previously since everything else known to cause the problems were fixed at the same time.

Are the head gaskets and stock bolts a real problem if you are watching the boost and egt's with a monitor and espeically one that will defuel at setable temps on the pyro and also for coolant temp and transmission temp.?
05' 6.0 L 75,000 miles on it got a triple dog on it with outlook monitor but mostly run it in tow / economy mode for the extra fuel mileage i get along with the extra power with out going crazy. It also makes the engine run a lot smoother than in stock. In tow/ecomony mode it starts better in the cold and idles smoother on the cold start up.
