I'm putting together my wish list and I've come across a question. I'm going to be putting down at least 250hp on my d16z6, I was wondering would stock head studs be sufficient? Or would I need some good ARP studs? Elaborate
If so does one of HMT sponsors sell them?

I would think stock head studs would be fine but The arp's are re-usable. Mine have paid for themselves since I've had the head off 3 times already.

I would def. recomend the head studs. since is a D. I poped 2 HG, picked up the arps from tuner toys and havent had a problem since then. Same tune too.

what do you torque them to? and how much boost are you running? supported sleeves? I keep popping them

JoshMO

sounds good guys thanks. What kind of HG do you guys recommend? I was thinking cometic...

I went to their website. http://www.alamomotorsports.com/arp/hshonda.html

I'm looking at these
208-4301 Honda D16A & D16Z M10 12pt head stud kit w/Std-Cut Studs

Is this the correct one I need? Again, its for a D16Z6

I think that's right, I got mine off summit racing website I think I paid $125 after shipping, and it took me like 3 days to get them.

what kind of timing are you running? how many lbs? Are you doing 5th gear rippers? Thats how I like to pop my hg

Im running stock a6 block/head with the felpro mls hg from a z6. 12-13 lbs from a T04 40trim. and I torque them to I think 85 lbs. I always torque the d's 10lbs more than what you are supose too.

Any advice on what HG I should go with?

I would get the stock hg. or if you want to spend the big bucks get a cometic.
