mighty diesel head bolts?
i was lookin thru the sponsors page and found the might diesel head bolts for $130 bux. they say they are running around 70psi of boost on them and they are working good. has anyone had any experience with these? im planning on running around 500hp and 4k govenor springs, also the truck is a dd and im planning on twins, should i fire-ring or o-ring the head?

I did some rough calculations a while back based on the diameter and tensile strength of of the bolts versus studs. Diesel Paps bolts are at least 38% stronger than the stock bolts, and the standard ARP studs are at least 55% stronger than stock bolts.
The bolts would probably do OK with a 500hp single turbo engine, with reasonable timing(16.5 or less). That's just an educated guess though Much more than that, I'd use the studs.
If you do use the bolts, make sure they all have the right washers under them.
