Head Gasket leak - I'm going to BOMB it.

Head Gasket leak - I'm going to BOMB it.
The head gasket started leaking last week. The overflow is full, and truck looses coolant steadily. I am using Smarty with the DPF deleted, and now I put it on SW 0 to try and reduce pressures.
I was running it on SW 1 or SW 3 before it went, just normal use, not even towing, and only 12000 miles on the truck.
So, I am going to delete the EGR and the cooler, and add some parts for more airflow.
The first thing will be ARP studs, I am using the 425's, they should be better than stock.
Next is the EGR cooler delete, and I am going to add a grid heater delete.
The grid delete gives better air flow, but I live in Canada, eh.
So, I am adding a throttle valve delete, that includes a grid heater, but with much better flow than the stock heater. The parts are on order from Glacier Diesel.
That should eliminate all the Dpf -EGR from the truck, and next will be a wastegate.
I am going to start wrenching on it tomorrow.

I'm looking for about 500 hp, without a turbo or injector upgrade, should be no problem. That power level will likely delete my stock clutch pressure plate.
I want to keep that drive pressure down, and not blow out the HG again. I am going to use the Pro-gate wastegate from Glacier diesel. It hooks in to the EGR ports on the manifold, and can be adjusted. This unit is probably overkill for a stock truck, but will be there if I ever want a higher HP level
