I agree. ARP even makes ones with irregular heads for externally balanced engines - in case you have a troublesome big block or a 400.

I'm in the minority here I guess...I have stock bolts.

stock bolts are fine, as long as their new...bolts will stretch and get weak if tightend and re tightend...so instead of buying stockers..I go for the ARP, just because their a little stronger

I use stock GM bolts...mine are new, but that's namely because my 700R4's converter uses metric bolts.
