Hellz yeah, top end has improved and I have noticed a few times while cruising on the interstate, it doesn't take much to hit triple digits. Now all I need is a CS downpipe, steedspeed Mani and a water/meth kit

stock is only like 19lbs or something, but arp's are 75. That is what I have mine at and that is what Sam told me that they have to be torqued down to. And yes you MUST put the lub that is supplied with them on the threads on both sides.
Someone on here said something about their ARP's being torqued to 90.... IDK why someone in the right mind would do 90 on the ARP's cause thats WAY more then what is allowed.... But whatever works for them even though its not correct.
Oh and ARP Main Studs for the crank are 45 ft/lb if you ever wanna know lol!

well the stock are torque to yeild so u do 19ft lbs (or w/e it is) and then a certain amount of degree's
also...do you have the paper with the torque specs on it? it should have came with the arp studs....im looking for the torque spec using oil instead of lube
i got the papers for the ARP mains lol i doubt im going to be pulling my crank out anytime soon but thanks for the heads up anywho

should of came with the ARP Studs.
The justanothermp5, all my specs for the ARP's are from Sam when I was building my motor. if you want confirmation you can message him. or ask him how much with oil. WHich I would still recommend getting the lube that comes with ARP Head studs.
