Isnt the point of goign to a larger headstud to make it less prone to blowing headgaskets? And is it really necessary?

 

For those of us that run decent size turbos @ high boost levels, the 1/2" studs are great for keeping the head down. I've only seen a few cars actually lift the head off the block, and they were all running up in the 38-42psi range.

 

i understand that its stonger but when you open up the hole on the headgasket is it more prone to blowing than one that is not opened up!

 

when you drill out the headgasket as long as its a clean hole no it wont blow out easier it will be just like as if it wasnt drilled out just be real careful because ive seen people do it and kinda ripped the gasket up and had to start over.

You dont happen to have a part # for the headstuds do you i e-mailed somebody about it the other day but i guess their not going to respond.
