So I brought these to my mechanic to have him put them on when he demods the supercharger and he says they are a bad idea. I'm like WTF but apparently the concern is over 12 point heads that they either strip or strip the socket when they are loctited. I did some googling and apparently this is almost a religious debate.
I read over the ARP website and I really like how they make their fasteners to ensure good metallurgy, quality, strength, etc. But I can't help wondering why they would make them in 12 point if that's a problem.
So, A) is the 12 point a problem, and B) can they be had in hex head?

That same post also says he uses blue loc-tite on the intake bolts

The factory bolts do have LocTite on them. It would not hurt anything, but I use anti-seize on stainless when screwed into aluminum.
