Yeah, I know about their studs. I'm wondering if they have upgraded stock style bolts?

Yes the 625's are the big dog's... But I'd do a little searching on here there is alot of 800 + hp motors on just regular studs!!! But if you got the change do it... I would have if the tranny wouldn't have blown up!!!!

I have Torqued my head studs 8 times know an I think they have finnally quite moving. They Do strech, Even Arp's. I've always Checked torque an rechecked to assure proper torque. You guys would be suprised how much they move even after your second round of torqueing them down. When evr I install studs I always tell people do not go over 20 psi for the first week or so. and I've had great Luck.
