FP red what supporting mods ?

well i have come to the conclusion that I will be getting the FP Red however I am starting to wounder should I do head studs and new gaskets, as well as steel lines ? just seems like this would be some added insurance for the high boost levels I will be running.

No IMHO....There have been numerous threads about this. Knock related pressure spikes are far greater (and more detrimental) than the additional air flow of a Red. The stock head gasket is awesome. If you want to use a stock gasket and ARP bolts, just make sure you follow the proper torquing procedure.

Enjoy...
