Best Head Studs? LOL

Well, it is looking like I just do the head studs. What is the best brand and the best place to get them?

On my gas stuff, I used ARP.

arp's seem to be the stud of choice. you can also get h-11's but they are more money. and a very helpful vendor on here should be able to get them to you for a good price.
i run the arp's

I dug into this. I see that ARP will be fine for my application.

Any other sugestions when doing this? I am going to take care of the studs and EGR. What else?

Check your stc fitting that comes off of the HPOP. They have an upgraded fitting now that wont fail and leave you stranded. When I had my stc fitting upgraded I also replaced seals on the oil rail plugs. The tech said they upgraded those to a d-ring style seal so those should never fail either. Make sure your oil cooler is good to go, and I highly suggest a coolant filter.
