$h!t man i'm not sure I tought it was 8* in total but it doesn't sound right now that you mention it. Maybe it was set at 16. Seems like i'd remember that. I'll let you know.

16.5 seems to be accepted as safe without studs. You get less EGT, more power, more nox i think, and increased cylinder pressure.
