Which head bolts MAP vs ARP?

Hey just their basic head bolts MAP VS ARP?

I was leaning towards map since people were talking about how good they were and I dont really see a lot of people using ARP's? Just wondering I know ARP's are trusted just about everywhere but IDK I guess I want to believe a new company has better QC.

Can someone help me out on what they would go with? Or currently using. Im waiting off on timing belts, waterpump, pulleys, cams, valvesprings, and headstuds just waiting on them to install all of these.

During my build, I decided to sell my ARPs and buy MAPs dog point studs which were only around $90. Their website shows the benefits of using dog point studs but either brand will be fine.

I think more are definitely using ARP, if your going big might even want to use the L19 studs. Either way your good as long as they are installed correctly. FWIW when I killed my stock engine, I burnt 3 pistons, broke a wrist pin and gouged the block unusable...the head still held pressure using standard ARP studs!!
