ARP only uses premium grade 8740 alloy and a proprietary ARP2000 alloy that are rated for superior to “aircraft” quality alloy steels. Secondly, each stud is placed vertically into special racks and precisely heat-treated to 200,000 psi for the 8740 material and 220,000 psi for the ARP2000 material.
