There wasn't really any thing out there online until I stumbled across one website www.northstarstuds.com.
Northstarheadstuds.com was a fascinating site to find because it took shots at both Tim Carroll & Carroll Custom Cadillac and Northstar Performance (NSP). They said that "We beat out the quality AND price of both Northstar Performance, and Carroll Cadillac."

The writer complained that NSP never returned their emails but on the Stud Kits page of their website, (page 3 of the below .pdf) wrote that NSP's machined in place dowel pins, "complicate installation." So eventually NSP returned their emails or they acquired an NSP set [SureGrip Stud Kits, U.S. Patent # 8,740,532] somewhere else.
About Tim Carroll and Carroll Custom Cadillac they wrote that:
"It took 3 weeks for Carroll Custom Cadillac to get me my studs. And when we finally got them, 3 of them snapped and all of them were bent."On the Stud Kits page they wrote:
"...[O]ur studs are designed to use the full depth of the head bolt holes, which is VERY important. Tim Carroll claims this; but he offers a universal stud which is improperly engineered."They also said that Carroll's dowel pins "were hacked up pieces of fuel supply pipe." lol that's easy to believe.
I emailed Carroll about it and pointed out that this sites' criticizing the both of them could give them the opportunity to put their differences aside.
That email is below:
He didn't respond (to this one or several other emails that I sent over the summer) but I knew that he had received it because shortly thereafter, referring to me as "Someone" the following post appeared on his Facebook:

Someone has brought to my attention a small mom and pop shop reproducing Jake's studs and they are Canadian, Go Figure?
I expect Jake will explode over this?
Not only are they producing the outdated old Dual Diameter Head Studs, but they have copied them to Jake's exact product, something we did not do!
From reading their website, they must not be aware we no longer sell this inferior product and use logical engineering to explain why. In the description of these Studs is a photo of a studded block! They did follow my engineering and pretend they did it? However, we designed this stud for this depth and after they ordered from me, they copied it to the exact dimensions, good for them!!!! I have tried to get anyone who wish's to, to do so and not believe the deception of Jake and the fake patent!
The lady in this small venture explains how they have the only correctly engineered product, LOL
Of course they do! It is my personal engineering!!!
It amazes me how this ridiculous simple auto part has become Canada's greatest debacle! It almost makes a man never acknowledge a Northstar again! From the GM giant shafting anyone they can, to ridiculous false claims in after market products.
I am going to attach a link to this off the wall tiny shop and allow the reader to see the false statements made by the lady who is half owner and in the link you will see both false statements and a new competition to the Jake!
Unaware we are no longer a competition of this out of date old product, she is quick to discredit my company as well, using untruth and a lie! Sound a little familiar, is all Canadians like this?
I just sent her an email asking her to retract or remove us from her dishonest website.
Will it ever stop? LOL well, besides her dishonest discrediting of me and my company, I could care less about their new found competition with Jake.
For all of those who cannot figure out the problem with these two bad producing companies? Good Luck!
Enjoy Jake! See if you can fool these people into your false patent? LOL

I think what struck me the most when I first read that NSP had acquired NSS was that NSP and its principal Jake Wiebe bought out the competition rather than go on a tear and try to run them out of business. That was cool.
That's the small role that I played in the northstarheadstuds.com saga.
