head studs
alright guys, last question of the week, promise! with the 230 hybrids im going to build, is it necessary to do head studs? it does seem like an upgrade id like to do anyway, but im trying to figure out whether or not it has to be done before the injectors (even though ill probably try to install both on the same weekend while everything is apart anyway). im planning on going for the H-11 set from ARP, found a site that sells them for $725. from what ive researched, this is about the cheapest they sell for. what type of task am i undertaking here? im assuming i dont have to pull the heads and can just pull one bolt and replace it with a stud untill one head is done, then torque them all down?? the back bolts are the ones that worry me the most, any tricks/tips here? thanks again.

Head studs are recommended at about 40 psi boost. with those injectors and a turbo (even your stock turbo) you will see those numbers unless you have it detuned. that price sound pretty good. To install remove one bolt install stud torque stud. the rear bolts are hard to do. I think most guys unbolt the cab and jack it up a few inches. if you get the arp their torque specs are way off last I heard.
