If I'm not mistaken Bill , Mercury is now using ARP bolts as thier vendor in thier High Performance motors might be wrong..I tore down a VERY late model virgin 280 a while back and they were installed in it might have just been a fluke...
ARP is a top and well known bolt supplier in the racing world ( Nascar, NHRA, etc, ) my guess would be if they'll hold up in an 8000 HP fuel motor rod bolt they should hold up in a Merc...

Jay, I don't remember saying that ARP were bad or wrong, ARP makes alot of good hardware, I stated that SPS is what Mercury uses. I know that they would have went through their verification process as they do for any of their components and what they chose is good enough for me. No sense in reinventing the wheel on a part which doesn't seem to cause any issues.
The last 2010 Champ PH I took apart still had SPS in it
