That's a pretty good price. I paid 485 for mine from Summit 3 years ago and now Summit sells them for 695 and DI sells theirs for 725

I agree. New is the way to go. I want some but I am tapped out right now. I also don't want ARP.

I have just heard the H11 studs are better biut honestly it probably wouldn't matter in my case. I guess I will have to make the decision later when I refill the wallet.

HA HA Plug the hole, Yeah right. PMS lives strong in my house.

The head studs can be done in the truck without removing engine or heads.
Remove one bolt at a time in the torque sequence and replace before moving on.
Some of the studs are dificult. I have heard it can be done by loosening cab mounts on one side and jacking the drivers side up whie replacing the passenger side bolts/studs.
