I went with new GM bolts when I swapped heads. I was told that the ARPs need to be retorqued after the first heatcycle. I didn't feel like taking the exhaust off to do that. The GM bolts are TTY, they will work fine for N/A. If you where FI then I would look into the ARP.

The ARP studs have more clamping force than head bolts and are really nice to have on motors that use a power adder{FI or nitrous}to keep the heads from lifting.If you are planning to spay the motor the ARP stud are definately worth the money.
