Default want to guess my project's HP/TQ??

Well after several years I am finally putting back together my project engine a "B" head DOHC engine... and it consists of these parts:
forged rods
forged flat top pistons
cobra crank
balanced rotating components
P&P heads with swirl polished valves
1 1/2 cut intake runners
delete IMRCs
steeda UDPs
aluminum Flywheel

and I have a question... I bought used ARP head studs (I know what a cheap bastard) well it did not come with the instructions so if anyone knows the torque specs I would really appreciate them..

Same way with my Super Coupe. I wouldn't worry, that was the only item that never did break on my SC.

That's normal. Also, since you said they are used, I would skip the part where it says to cycle them to pre stretch the studs.

Yea I heard that B heads are better for F/I but since I am going N/A they are not the best heads for that... I will eventually spray on the motor so its ok...
