Hi,
So I have recently installed a side mount CAPA supercharger on my L77 engine and as such, I need to do the DOD (AFM) delete soon. Since to do this I have to pull the top end apart and cam upgrade, I'm going to upgrade everything else while I'm there.
The only thing I'm unsure about is choosing between ARP head bolts or ARP head studs to suit the Higgins Ported Heads, I'm currently pulling 340rwkw on pump 98 and I'm expecting it to hit around 410rwkw - 440rwkw and around 750-800nm of torque on e85 once I've done everything.
With this in mind, what are everyone's thoughts on the benefits of head bolts vs head studs on the L77 engine?
Cheers
