ARP big end studs or stock bolts?

[dbv8]

Any thoughts on wether i need the ARP studs?
My engine will be running big power on gas but the rev limit is unlikeky to exceed 6500rpm i guess.

Are the ARP studs only necessary on screamers?

Always get studs over bolts for block hardware. That way, on dis/reassembly of the engine, your block, probably a big investment in terms of machining cost, will be less likely to have PITA mangled female threads. IMO worth the extra cost for insurance.

The SPS stuff on your big journal spec big ends looks as good as the ARP to me & as Mike likely told you wouldn't bother with the rpms you are looking at.
