574whp, 29psi on pump gas, no issues.
434whp, 34psi on E85, no issues.
???Whp, 38psi on C16, no issues.
Lorenzo, you are fine not doing headstuds. Trust me I wouldnt steer you wrong. If it was a fresh motor build then yeah it needs headstuds. The whole need for head studs came from bad tuning in the early days of the stock ECU tuning. Poor understanding of how the timing maps were working, LOTS of Detonation, too lean in some cases, and in most WAY TOO MUCH timing.
Things are far different now. No knocklight in the middke of a pull that you know the intercooler isnt heatsoaked is
