Default Question

If you went with a set of AFR or TF Twisted Wedge Heads, would you do ARP head bolts and Manley push rods or is that not necessary. I'm a firm believer in doing it right the first time, so I thought I'd throw this out there.

ARP head studs and any hardened pushrod of correct length. If you're running the stock cam, I pretty certain they're 6.700" long.
If you have an after market or custom cam verify with an adjustable pushrod checker and solid lifter.

I'd run ARP head bolts, but I'd run a few different brands of hardened pushrods, not necessarily Manley.

Any brand of head studs and hardened pushrods you'd recommend? It sounds like ARP head studs are the front runner, but what do you guys think on the hardened pushrod side of things?
