g-string....., What up?

Do the studs. Some of these guys actually know what they are talking about and they aren't here to hold your hand.

I went with the studs. I torqued them in five stages. I threw a few 5lb passes in there mixed with 10 lb passes.

I went to 85ftlbs. You are not going to hurt the steel, that is your block.
Make sure you atleast lap your block. Machining the head is a must.

IMO, studs are superior to arp bolts. But that is only an opinion.

Get the tsrm for your car. There is an online tsrm that may be of use to you.
I have the book so I don't know the link but someone does.
