U dont put itr cams without upgrading valve springs
Especially for boost. Boost pressure keeps the vslve springs from closing so u need stiffer springs than na motor

Plans might change. To either using the CTR intake and GSR exhaust cam

Or a full set of Gsr cams.

I do want to build the head and rev 8500-9000 but the cost vs some
Bottom end work a bigger turbo coils and tuning don't justify the head build.

Thanks!

One stud at a time wouldn't relive much pressure. How'd it work out op?
Pulled the head for peace of mind. Although I have heard since then you can do it no problem.

Tried it on an evo once, started seeping oil from the head gasket afterwards. I wouldn't chance it in the future. Just wait until you can do the head gasket at the same time.
