Is 6 lbs ever enough ? I run 14 daily with stock sleeves, forged internals with headstuds. I dont think you need headstuds, especialy if you are not a boostaholic.

Who isn't one? haha....boost is addicting. First 8psi wasn't good enough, now 15 is no longer enough....I wonder what 25psi has in store for me haha.

 

haha well the problem is that I have 200,000 miles on my teggie ! but compression tested at 240 across the board, and I recently put down 163 whp and 124 lbs of torque with just header and exhaust, so I think the motor can take it.......do you guys think that I can get away with 8 , or do you think 6 should be my limit ?

 

when was your last head gasket change? I'd do it the next time u change your gasket, which could be soon.

 

240 is real good

 

thanks guys
