Usually every company has it's top competitor but I have not heard of one for ARP.

I use ARP for all my engine builds. Expensive, but peace of mind.

Cold heading is a nitche market and aftermarket is a relatively small sector. There probably aren't too many competitors, even though they are pricier than standard bolts. The next classification probably is Mil Spec, which for most applications is overkill. :seeya:

ARP is the only company I know of that makes high performance fasteners.

According to his book, its Lingenfelter's top choice.
