yep found them..

LT5X Head Studs
Manufactured from ARP 2000 grade (rod bolt) material, these studs are designed to bottom on existing block bolt threads resulting in increased engagement and reduced thread stress. At 120 ft/lbs of torque (using 30w oil) these studs result in up to 35% greater clamping force and do not require re-torque. Each kit contains 20 studs, hardened washers, and 12 point nuts.

Price: $1360

I'd be on a noodle diet for about six months just to afford those head studs.....and another six months as I bet the nuts & washers are not included? Jez these motors get expensive!

This is what I get for not buying a regular corvette!

Yeah, even cup o noodles are not cheap these days and about a dollar each. I remember the comissary used to sell these for about .25 cents so that would cost you less than $1 a day for 3 meals.........lol. One month cup o noodles and if you survived you would also loose much more weight than the savings of the spare tire delete bar.

I had no idea you could use that stuff as a diet-to-loose-weight idea? Chit, I think I'll go to the grocery store tonight and start now this way maybe by the spring I will have a quicker car!

Do you need new head bolts?
Since you asked here are my thoughts.

Use the OE bolts.
I have reused mine if i had to guess at least 20 times,no issues.

ARP's for $75 each stud
or
Stockers Free

GC use the head bolts, as the block was tq plate honed with bolts not studs.

Ron's Studs use every thread in the block. the bolts are on the short side, not sure how much the change would be for liner pull.
