Supertec Performance Cylinder Head Stud Kit
Has anybody use these yet?
Can't beat the price, so that is why I'm so skeptical. Are they better than the Raceware? Thanks in advance |

Do a search. Several people have used them and I haven't run across anyone that is dissapointed with them. Henry over at Supertec is also very honest and helpful.

We can charge more if that will ease your mind
 We have used them in our race engines for 6 plus years with no issues. We have never warranteed one stud and no one running our studs has ever told us of any issue. In years past we were Raceware dealer and we saw very poor thread quality. When I first designed the Supertec head stud I sent a sample to ARP to get a quote for them to build our stud and their price was too high for the quantity I wanted. Strangely enough shortly there after the ARP stud was produced using a stainless material remarkably similar to our stainless. The truth is, the thing that makes the Supertec stud better is the design. Although you might read ARP descriptions that say they use different threads at the head end than the case end, it is not true. The Supertec stud is the only stud on the market that uses a fine thread at the head end (for smoother , more consistent torquing) . Great material (life time warranty) and a better design. What more could you want.
