As with guitar strings, motor oil brands, and watches, everyone has their favorites.
IMO, when it comes to automotive fasteners, it doesn't get much better than ARP. A picture is worth a thousand words:

as long as you don't have to torque them beyond the normal 23#, fine. remember that mag cases pull studs and sometimes inserts too. i know raceware suggests 35#, and that would make me nervous with a mag case, even with case savers. if i remember right, ARP suggests 23#, but better check.

Not sure this is the best application for hi-tech, high strength fasteners. The regular steel studs should be fine.

I wish I had asked before I ordered. The ARP's are on the way. In an effort to buy the best, I may past steel for no reason. Return and use steel, use ARP's?

I use nothing but steel studs in small motors (under 2.4) and 993TT Dilavars in everything else.
No pulled studs, no broken studs, and no loose head nuts,.....  YMMV, of course.
