Are the head studs going to be of greater tensilary strength than that of A1 Technologies head studs?

Correction. Tensile strength. I have heard it referred to as tensilary strength though. A1 studs are stronger than ARP by default. You should look into them.

Miki, I think you will have a hard time finding a "shop" that will do the headgasket on your car for less than $500. A correct and professional headgasket job will take around 8hrs, then you add the price of the gasket and misc stuff.

I'm curious as to why you keep posting videos of your car that don't help or show said problems?

"Bragging" via video doesn't do you any good when your STi is a soon-to-be couch in your garage.

$80/hr is the standard around Portland, English Racing is $50/hr plus Lucas is a 4g63 master.

I post on a lot of differant forums because not everyone goes to all the forums, sorry.

i dont really post that much here, didnt think there would be any forum ****`s.

i was not bragging about breaking my car, got some cool video and wanted to share, if you dont like it that is fine. give me some construtive critosism on how i can make the video. i only posted small bits. i am a total newb when it comes to video editing.

Here is some constructive feedback.....tell us where the road is located. Looks like a fun little rip if it is secluded as you say.
