Good stuff:

Not much on their web site, but the studs are ~190,000 psi alloy steel, very strong, re-torquable and very nice to use.  I 
iinstalled a set on my 1.9D w/ head in place, replacing one bolt for one stud then torqueing them all down.  The torqueing is a 
pleasure compared to the TTY head bolts.
