I don't sell ARP headstuds... but unless you are a master tuner, anyone not running them might as well start rolling the dice.

I know a man who went to Vegas several times a year... always getting picked up by limos from Casinos wanting to make their money back... his lucky streak lasted about 6 years before he lost his house... It is not an Aesop fable, but you get the meaning.
Do you happen to know the Torque specs for the Arp headbolts. I had to retorque mine couple days ago. Whenever i got in boost over 20psi the temp guage went up. I retorque the bolts and the problem went away. I just want to make sure that i did it right. Or else i may need a new headgasket.

Two things. I went on their site saw the car-but when it went down the track I could not see the time on the board. It was all blury, also on the time slip it shows the car in the left lane going 11.6 if I am correct. The Suby was in the right lane.

Send it with the 10.5.. unless you intend to send the hot side out to be ported and coated along with this, in that case, send it with the stock housing and swap it when you get it back.

Car number 43 on the timeslip. But the shoe-polish says 127. WTF? Not that it really matters in a thread about a turbo for an Evo.

FP won't answer my favourite tuning shop's calls... They said they were sending us one of the last two and they clearly havent as that was two weeks ago. They are machining new compressor wheels I suppose but please hurry up, and if you just be honest and answer the calls and let us know realisticly when the turbo will be here that'd be much appreciated. I'd much rather have it be late and y'all be honest about it then telling us it shipped two weeks ago then telling us now that it's not even done... But no harm no foul if it gets here soon. I'm still very excited

Just curious, did you do the "one at a time" install method?

To clear things up a bit, (I was at the track), in the video the car ran an 11.6 but the slip and video are of different runs. The car ran a bunch of 11.6s on different nights and I believe got down to 11.4 before it was sold.

Sorry to go OT, but wanted to clear things up.

Is there a core exchange. I'm broke but would like to do the 10.5 hotside and have the clipped wheel from the white rabbit...
