ARP does sell a set of 300 series stainless studs for this, the ever come with a spare. Not sure if they're stronger or not, but they are more than twice as expensive as going inconel.

I need my roommate to get his *** back up here before I loose my access to the machine shop so we can make two sets of the sweet barrel throttle body itbs.

That part fits and should be stronger than stock. One broke when I took the manifold off after torquing them to the upper end of the factory spec with my bending beam. Top front one, which broke before, and is the one I hear other breaking most often. I'm just going to run the brace.

Just installed the ARP SS studs in my head. You want them. They are rated for 170,000 PSI plus. They include washers and 12 point nuts. If one of these breaks.....there is no way to keep them from breaking. Sure...$109 is a lot for 10 studs.....but my time is worth something...and I wont need to worry about changing these again.....I hope

I ordered 400-8024. I needed 51mm long studs due to the blower manifold. If you are using a stock intake you might be able to use stock length studs. 400-8023 are 45mm long, 400-8022 are 38mm, 400-8021 32mm.

Yeah I'm still breaking them while running the brace, just less of them. Theres already 2 in the manifold right now that I felt let go when torquing them this last time, but **** it with the vics manifold its way too big of a pain in the dick to fix. Next time this manifold comes off its being replaced.
I was torquing all of them to 18ftlbs with the bending beam, the two that I'm sure are going to come out broken started just turning with no increase in force around 12ftlbs. Theres no ******* way they're breaking from over torquing for me they look fine but must have developed cracks in the thread root that I didnt notice when I inspected all of them.
