Default Arp Headstuds

Does anyone know where i can get arp headstuds for the 6.5 at a decent price. The cheapest i have seen is 159.99 on summits page?

Just joined the other day. Cool site!! I think the starter is ok, but i will not no till i install the ignition switch, ignition tumbler lock, and ignition alarm switch, and then for safety two battery cutoffs, so if it happens again i will just unscrew them, it wont be done for prolly another week, i wont get the parts till next thursday...

I really dont know what cheap is for them, i have never gone shopping for headstuds before, ive always used bolts... I found another place that sells them for 260... The summit site says they are for the 6.2 but i think they are the same....

im pretty sure there headstuds. the most boost a 6.5 will probably see is 25 Psi in a heavely modified engine so its a bit shy of the current high performance diesels. dont need as much clamping force

OEM studs are fine at stock boost levels and a engine with a healthy cooling system, unless you expect to run 15+ consistently or do a lot of head gasket changes really no need to swap to ARPs
