before you go and bomb ur truck too much ... just keep in mind I bumped my timing and pulled my fuel plate .... truck was a monster ..... but now 1 month later have a leaky HG and need to stud the top end ...... SOOO that being said ... first do HG and studs ... then you can do more mods other wise it will pop ... right under the thermostat housing .....

Due to coolant pressure and cylinder pressure .... this is the main cause of the HG failure.... check out NWbombers.com .... there is an extensive wright up on common HG related failures

Great info, thanks. I was thinking of a 0 or 1 plate, I think studs will be a priority, and then GSK. The thing I find is that when you do one upgrade, you have to do another so the first upgrade doesn't turn into a problem, all part of the game
Is this the allen cap I can find the star wheel under?
