Question question re: fasteners

Is there really a point to ordering application specific nuts and bolts, or is grade 8 stuff from the hardware store essentially as good for a street driven car (i.e. intake bolts, header bolts, even head bolts...)

This is just something that I always wondered about?

grade 8 is better than factory crap. only time you need application specific is if you are going super duty and are after ARP stuff.

The ARP stainless stuff is great from a rust standpoint. They don't. They also look sharp.
