If you search the forum here, there’s definitely a video of it (at startup). I remember it !

Sorry guys I haven't been keeping up with this post but I've got some updates for you all. Deal with ARP fell through but I was able to find another company which are machining the hardware for me as we speak. Should be done sometime this month. We decided to upgrade to studs made from titanium to our specs. This is the crucial part as every other standard stud in the market did not have proper head penetration. I'll update as soon as I have more.
No the studs I'm getting done won't be stretch to yield. I'll have the torque sequence available for installation. That portion is called the yield area and its meant to stretch to achieve equal torque across the manifold.
