10x's better your head will start to lift around 12lbs with stock headstuds think of it as cheap insurance for your motor drop the bill and get em

Can't go wrong with arp, even with a stock rebuild.. Cost is cheaper!

All pro's for ARP..

Only con is OEM bolts are "TQ to yield", they can only be used once!!


Later!

Arp = stronger
Arp = reuseable
Arp = cheap ( around 120 shipped )

only downfall is the time you have to wait for them. about 2 weeks

oem = only good for close to stock hp
oem = NOT reusable, if you try and fail, you'll have to fish them out of the block. did it before
oem = about the same price as arp


i use arp for my d15y7 turbo and d15y7 mini me swap.
