I had ARP studs in my B20A block/B21 head, but that was before the kit was available. They took some dimensions and got me studs. The 2 centers were too long so they took them back and cut them down so they would clear the camshafts. Glad to see they're supporting the 3rd gen.

Ha, found the post.

I had to send them back to ARP...
the studs were WAY too long...like the non threaded part of the stud was sticking out over the top of the head bolt holes too long :|


anyway...contact jay coombes at ARP.
part numbers are ATP7.675-1LUB
.120" had to be removed from the top of the studs (these are the long 2 in the middle.) ARP did this for me.
short studs are ATP6.350-1LUB

Technically they are not supporting us, its still a one off kit. So wait times are long until they make the studs.

I called ARP this morning and found out the kits are "in stock" but they do not have them pieced together. they informed me that the cost estimated was $208+25 shipping. the parts guy said i might have a beter time lowering the price by asking around at the diffrent distibuters. here is that info.

MAPerformence $222.43 out the door in the united states

Jegs $208.29+tax

Titan Preformence $175 +shipping and tax

If anyone else wants to call around and ask for priceing expect to be put on hold so they can get prices from Arp. I hope this helps.

I received an email from ARP and they had applied a discount to the order I believe this might be the cheapest and definitely the fastest way to order the studs use the information in the tread to email Sam Benson. I wish I would have realized this before posting.
