Budget Friendly N54 ARP 2000 Head Studs

Budget Friendly N54 ARP 2000 Head Studs

If you're running an N54 and pushing serious power, head lift is a real concern. The factory bolts just aren’t built to handle high boost, which is why upgrading to 11mm ARP2000 head studs is a smart move.

Why Upgrade?

  • Stronger Clamping Force – ARP2000 material is significantly stronger than OEM bolts, reducing head lift under high boost.
  • 11mm Studs – Bigger and stronger than stock 10mm bolts, providing added durability.
  • High Tensile Strength – Rated at over 220,000 psi to handle extreme cylinder pressures.
  • Reusable – Unlike OEM bolts, these can be torqued multiple times without losing integrity.
  • Built for Boost – Ideal for tuned N54s running upgraded turbos, ethanol blends, or high-performance setups.

Who Needs This Kit?

If you’re running anything beyond stock power—whether on the street or track—this upgrade is essential. Even moderate boost increases can stress the stock head bolts, leading to potential head gasket issues.
