Earl,

My only other comment would be to think about lowering the compression depending on the boost you plan to run. I run 36 lb injectors and had no real problem. Changed the heads to flow more exhaust. The smaller CC heads raised my compression to much. Now, I can shred head gaskets at will.

I would like to go to 1/2 head studs but have not figured out exactly how this is done. If I place my block on the bench, the existing 7/16 thread is too large to run a 1/2 tap.

Fred.
