Do I need the arp bolts?

On OEM bolts you want to do 72 ft/lbs as the original spec of 52 or whatever ft/lbs is simply way too low. After about 5 heat-cycles, loosen them slightly, one at a time in the proper sequence, and re-torque them to 72. ARP's are great hardware, if you go that route torque them to the instruction specs for the lube you use when you install them.
