Better Headstuds

Who would be interested (I mean really willing to purchase within the next 60 days) a much better headstud? I am talking about one that is 12mm so that it will fit our blocks with no issues and is made of better material.... Something that we can consistantly torque to 160+ lbs!

Now the question is what would you be willing to pay.... I may have a line on this product but it looks like the studs will go for $700-$800, if I can get enough orders I may be able to get them for around $600 a set. This would be for the 12v, 24v, and CR guys.

Let me know what you think.

These would be the same quality as ARP but a much better material (like mentioned above). The current ARP studs have a recommended torque of 96#. We have been using 125# reguarly but lately there has been a couple that have broken at this level..... So if someone is cranking to 170# I would bet their torque wrench is off. Also at this level there would be stud stretch and the washer will deform.

I know the cost is high but I am talking about a product that is way superior. Blown headgaskets would really diminish using this product.
