Considering the platform is so new and no one has really made extreme power on these these cars yet, the best answer you'll get is speculation.
You're going to have to wait and see.

Oh, I can answer those easy.
Gasket and stud every XX Miles
XXX HP (or when you hit XXXX for sure)
The stockers can hold X+XX from bolt ons.
solve for X
Sorry, I couldnt pass it up
I know of cars running 400hp to the wheels with little gasket or stud probs-gasket has more to do with what you up the boost too (I'd say stick around 25 or less on the stocker-but I have not seen an upgade on that part yet)
Studs....well...I'd wait for JUN-I know Carrito.net found that a certain Honduh stud fits the 4b11.....if that helps
