Is there a better set of head gaskets that should be used as well? Will the OEM gaskets be okay with the ARP studs? I mean, I know they will work, but is there something better? Do it once, not twice...

Thanks again.

Make sure the dealer is willing to install the studs before you go spending that kind of money.

AFA headgaskets go, the stock gaskets are fine for stock and more than mild applications. If you are building a sled puller or race truck then I would suggest other gaskets.
