ARP vs SUpertec head studs
I am trying to decide which head studs to use on a 3.0L rebuild. The price difference is negligible. So how about it? which ones are better? please share your thoughts and your experience.

Price difference is about $100 in favor of ARP (204-4206). Don't think you can go wrong with either set.
I used ARP in my build a couple years ago and was happy with the product/packaging. I wouldn't hesitate to use the Supertec product though as they appear to be a thoughtful design feature-wise.

I go for super tech because the outer end is a fine thread so you can adjust torque better much,Like the SC and later through bolts.

According to the sales department @ Pelican, Supertec studs are their best selling studs.
Thank you Pelican!
