Yeah, 28-30 psi on stock block and stock headgasket, no headstuds-- well what did you think would happen? Lucky it lasted as long as it did. GL.

That's wierd my signature normally pops up. Don't know why it's not now.but yes the motors built running e85. The arp head studs obviously weren't doing it so I ordered some better headstuds from map. No I wasn't aware of the faf quotes.

Spirit. Thank you. Thank you for direct-port nitrous injection, four-core intercoolers, ball-bearing turbos, and titanium valve springs. Amen.

Make sure you check your injectors for gunk while you have everything apart... that may have been the issue all along...

The injectors cause overboost? The code is P0234. Im using OEM headgasket again, thats the best.
