arp head studs

[hmadhopper]

i thought i would ask this out of curiosity.i already know were im going to buy mine at.but when i had done some searching on the internet for some studs. i couldnt find them for my 89 idi only newer? so the ones that everone on here uses are they actually for a new p.s ? but just work on the idi?

ARP doesn't sell or list the studs for the 7.3 IDI as a kit like they do with the 6.9 IDI. But they do have a stud that works fine. PM typ4 (Russ) for a kit if you want one from an fellow OB.

I think they are around 385.00 6 pt nuts shipped, add about $200 more for 12 point nuts.

yeah thanks. yeah russ is were i plan on buying my cam and studs. this is my first diesel i have really had and messed with so im just trying to learn more about it as i go. i got the new motor all machined and ready to assemble. but i decided to do the cam and it already has a ats setup. so i was going to do the studs anyways. now just trying to figure out what i want to do with fuel system also.

If you've the the extra money, I'd get a Moose pump and injectors. PM Agnem (Mel) for the info.

how much more better u think the moose pump and injectors are compared to if i just turn up a stock unit and run the bb code injectors i read about?

Run your motor on 6 cylinders and compare that to running it on 8 cylinders... Thats the differance between a stock pump and the infamous moose pump. Once you go moose you"ll never turn loose....

sounds like it is pretty impressive.so how does this setup sound.my fresh rebuild with my ats setup.cam from russ. and moose pump and injectors.should that be a pretty impressive diesel for daily driving? i would like to intercool it but i can do that later on.

 

[Agnem]

Sounds pretty good to me. I've never had a chance to see a full review on the cam, so an install article and before and after dyno numbers would be a real plus.

 

[hmadhopper]

yeah i wished i woulda had a chance to dyno the truck or something before.the motor crapped out on me before i did much with it. this core i been building i already have a good amount tied up in it. and i was just going to finish it off stock with the head bolts and turbo. but after reading on here.figured i might as well do it all the first time.and plus with tax money comeing in.maybe its a sighn to do it
