Default Heads and corner studs

helLo corvette forum,

anyone running head and corner studs for high boost and big power?

i have arp bolts now, but now I'm gonna max the ysi and get ALL THE BOOST , and I'm scared that i might face problems like headlift ,
would the arp bolts do the job ?
or would i need head and corner studs?

if i will need head and corner studs is there any machine work for the heads or block ?

thanks guys and happy thanksgiving

If I was going to mush the boost level with a 2.75 upper pulley for sure would go with the ARP studs in the block and also a good set of head gaskets. If motor is down are other thing is to look at putting machine work and putting in 1/2 studs for more pull down power.

But if you do this make sure you get a good shop that has done this before.. Robert

some ppl say holes is already in the block, even for corner studs, bud i see a lot of blocks that doesn't have the corner studs holes in the block neither the cylinder head, I'm just going to remove the heads and check if there is holes for corner studs in the block, if they exist i will do the corner studs also, but if the corner studs isn't in the block already i won't do corners,

what is the best gaskets?
