ARP Bolts ARP SB Chevy LS Head Stud Kit 03 and Earlier, Black Oxide, 12-Point, Includes Washers - 234-4344

If you're diving into some serious engine work, you’ll want to check out this ARP head stud kit. These aren't just any fasteners; they’re crafted from ARP2000 material, which means they’re built to handle the kind of stress that comes with high-performance builds. The black oxide finish not only looks slick but also adds a layer of corrosion resistance, so you can trust these studs to hold up under pressure.

Now, let’s talk about the design. These are 12-point head studs, which means you’ll have a solid grip when you’re torquing them down. No undercut here, just straightforward, reliable engineering that gets the job done. And yes, you’ll get washers included in the kit, so you don’t have to worry about hunting those down separately. That’s one less thing on your to-do list.

This kit is a perfect fit for a range of vehicles. Whether you’re working on a Cadillac CTS from 2004 to 2007, or a Chevrolet Camaro from the late '90s to the mid-2010s, you’re covered. It even works with the iconic Corvette from '97 to 2013, along with the Chevrolet SS and SSR, and a couple of Pontiacs like the Firebird and GTO. So, if you’re in the garage tinkering with any of these models, this head stud kit should definitely be on your radar.

Bottom line? If you’re serious about your build and want fasteners that can keep up, this ARP head stud kit is a solid choice. It’s all about reliability when you’re pushing your ride to the limit, and these studs deliver just that.

The Story Behind ARP Bolts

ARP (Automotive Racing Products) was founded by Gary Holzapfel in 1968 when he noticed his drag-racing friends succumbing to bolt-induced engine failure as a result of poor-quality fasteners. He drew upon his expertise in the aerospace industry to develop a solution, which turned into a successful business nonetheless. 

Since its inception, ARP has been engineering and perfecting a wide range of bolts, studs, nuts, and other fasteners for engines, cylinder heads, headers, wheels, and transmissions. Today, ARP remains the undisputed world leader in automotive fasteners. Racing aficionados everywhere know and recognize the ARP brand and can vouch for its quality.

What Makes ARP Bolts So Special?

Located in Ventura, California, all ARP processes from raw wire to finished fasteners are conducted in-house, right here in the USA. The company continually improves its processes with strict quality control guidelines and is dedicated to producing products that are second to none. Simply put, ARP Bolts are better than the competition because of their quality materials and advanced processes. 

ARP prides itself on using only top-quality materials that are above the usual “aerospace-grade” quality that other manufacturers settle for. For example, while 8740 Chromoly steel has four different grades, ARP only uses the top two, SDF and CHQ. These grades cost twice as much as the lower commercial and aircraft grades, but deliver “zero defect” quality that you can trust each and every time.

ARP Bolts are built to withstand serious racing, possess greater tensile strengths, and can survive higher stress levels than most aircraft fasteners. ARP is dedicated to creating fasteners that boast ultimate strength and durability to ensure they last race after race. Its product lineup ranges from quality high-performance OEM parts to exotic specialty hardware for IndyCar, NASCAR, NHRA drag racing, Formula 1, and even marine applications.
