Almost everyone here runs the basic ARPs. Block and head prep is key.

ive heard many different torque specs and people seem to be torqing down to 250 so they dont have to go back into the motor to re torque as per specs by arp

and ive heard the a1 are superior

I've installed hundreds of arps... None have ever given me issue. Wait..... Just the one that the customer supplied his black onyx gaskets. Lol

ARPs and OEM gaskets and you'll be good to go with the proper prep work.

i have 6 torques on my arps and no issues, 250 ft lbs with the new lube

Whatever information you were given is incorrect, or heavily misinterpreted. the A11s do have higher tensile strength, but arp's are proven to over 1,000 rwhp.
