all that work and no ARP head studs? why not, its $100 more to your already somewhat expensive rebuild?
Built KA24DE: Wiseco 9.0:1 | Eagle H Beams | ARP Head & Main Studs | BC 272s & Springs | Supertech Valves

forgot to update
but turns out for some reason when i connect gauge to turbo T it shows 35psi max
but if i Measure gauge directly from the T on the block i get normal(75psi cold)
so everything has been running great
Turbo failed 1-2 weeks after the build so it has been down
i just got the car up a few weeks ago with a new turbo
Everything is running smooth
NO oil Leaks, NO Leaks for that matter
Solid 22VAC
Trans Leaking little from the Ebay Short **** with no Boot on
Next thing i need to fix is the Megan Type 2 exhuast rubbing on frame(annoying)
Thanks for everyone that helped me on this thread or gave comments
