About ARP (Automotive Racing Products)
When it comes to engine hardware, ARP is one of those brands that just about every serious engine builder knows and trusts. Founded in 1968, Automotive Racing Products has spent over 55 years manufacturing some of the finest high-strength fasteners in the automotive industry. From head studs and main studs to connecting rod bolts, flywheel bolts, and wheel studs, ARP makes the hardware that holds everything together. Using premium materials such as 8740 chrome moly, ARP2000, and specialty aerospace-grade alloys, ARP takes strength, precision, and quality control seriously. Their fasteners are manufactured in-house in California, with extensive testing behind the products that engine builders and racers depend on.
Here at Elite Race Fab, we use ARP hardware in our own builds, and it's a brand we have a tremendous amount of trust in. When you're putting thousands of dollars into an engine, the last thing you want to worry about is a cheap bolt or stud letting you down. ARP has built its reputation on getting those small but incredibly important details right. Just make sure you're following the proper installation procedures and torque specifications, because even the best hardware needs to be installed correctly. Whether you're refreshing a stock engine or building something capable of serious horsepower, ARP is an easy choice and a brand we're proud to offer.
