I bought some ARP's and I'm going to install them tomorrow.

The car drove home completely fine on the boost turned down to 24 psi. No smoke. No hesitation. Nothing.
Did you verify that there's no oil in the coolant or coolant in the oil, or do a compression test? I'd keep a close eye on it. You don't want to spin a bearing if you've got a blown headgasket.

Yes, I'm going to keep a very close eye on it but I still don't think the head lifted. There are no other ill symptoms. I'm going to go check her out right now.

Eek, sorry to hear that you pushed so hard on stock stretch bolts. You can get a kit from NAPA that will allow you to test if any gas fumes are present in the coolant like here. They have worked for me in the past. You guys are going crazy with this meth stuff

I've been driving the car a lot (150 miles yesterday) to make sure everything is ok and this is me when I get on the gas pedal------>

I checked the overflow a few times after a few spirited runs and there were no problems whatsoever.

The car feels really fast. I love it.

Words of wisdom right here but everything seems to be doing great. Did some bench test racing with a car that was kicking my *** before the meth and I'm VERY happy with the outcome.
