im finding out on the forums that some people claim blowing headgaskets at 26psi. some others are fine pushing 30psi without the need of headstuds. its up to you, but i wouldnt risk it ..... i turned my boost pressure down from 32 because i was overboosting its a bit colder in the nights

You are also on a Green, Carlos. Jim is running a 35r. They generally run out of fuel pump on e85 around 28psi with a single Walbro.

For $160 I think it would be worth it, just peace of mind. I was curious what people in the community were doing.

You could be right, but for some reason I feel like my problem wasn't with fuel and that I still had a little wiggle room. If I'm putting in headstuds, I'm also gonna buy a 2.3 and get a double pumper. May as well. *shrug*

Interesting.. I'm pricing out headstuds on buschur's site and they state that the l19 headstuds won't stretch like the others do. Are they saying I could install these and then when I finally DO stroke the motor, keep them?

Most of the time you gotta buy new studs, as they stretch...

I am a big fan of head studs. They are cheap insurance and perfect to do at time of a cam installation...

You can reuse ARP headstuds a few times with no issue.
The L19's are great as they won't stretch even under extreme pressure but I still have seen a reason to spend that much on head studs.
