So I've always used ARP studs in the past (been about 12 years since I put togther my last motor) and always been satisfied. However, I notice now there are a lot of other manufacturers cropping up with main and head studs. All the others list using "8740 aircraft quality chromoly" as the material. In ARP's catalog, they claim this is the 2nd to the worst of the chromoly blends. Yet, the "others" have (or claim) the same tensile strength of 190000 psi as the ARPs. Just curious as to thoughts on this. Just do a fleabay search and you'll see what I am talking about. I've also seen them at a lot of retail speed shops. Anyone tried these other brands?
