Did you really just say that? Do you really believe that?

As far as I know, the tensile strength of the Golden Eagle and the ARP are virtually identical. They are also made from different materials (8740 ARP, 4340 Golden Eagle), and have different heat treating processes (obviously because of the different materials). I'm not saying one is better than the other, just that you can't tell strength by looking at two fasteners of the same size.

So how are you going to blindly say that one is stronger than the other because it's slightly bigger?
