I think for 99% of the people out there the standard ARP's will work fine.

Mind you, a stock duramax with stock gaskets/bolts will hold 45psi pretty easilly. If you are at the level of worrying about blowing head gaskets on a duramax, you are also at the level to start worrying about cracking pistons and bending rods.
