ARP ring gear bolts worth it over GM?
As the title says, I was wondering if it would be worth the extra 2x the price for the ARP ring gear bolts? Is the ring gear even strong enough to warrant the extra expense?
3.70 gear with a 700r4 will put a lot of torque down in first gear. Hoping to swap to a TKO-500 someday.

If pll snatching off teeth stock don't think arp bolts would matter. I never seen the ring snaping off the bolts. The ARP are better than stock but like ARP timing cover bolts means nothing in the real world.

Properly installed, new OEM ring gear bolts aren't a common point of failure at all.
