ARP Head Studs

Why the hell are ARP head stud kits so pricey? Is it cause there are so many studs? Haha. I'm just wondering at what point getting some ARP studs would be a good idea? Are you pretty much safe with stock head studs if you haven't changed your internals? I'm going a head gasket soon and looking for all those good reasons to spend $600.

Stock bolts tend to stretch if you get over 40PSI of boost or so the ARP Studs will carry you well beyond that.

...and oh yeah, since you're rebuilding the top-end, might was well get the twin turbo kit as well. Then you'll need those head studs after all!!!

Cummins transplant can look better by the minute sometimes when you add all this up.
