86 ford f-250 with first gen banks turbo kit
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey guys I just signed up on this form and I'm 16 turnin 17 in a few days and I would like to know how much boost the 6.9L heads and head gaskets can hold before putting studs in them. They say the banks turbo will pull 10 to 12 psi and sometimes 14. I just wanted know when would it be a good idea to stud the heads thanks guys.

I still think a gasket would blow before the bottom end. There's no point in going higher than 10psi unless you have an intercooler anyhow. After 10psi the air is to hot from being compressed by the turbo that you will lose power. A guy on OB did a dyno run to compare. With no intercooler, I believe he lost 10-15hp going from 10psi to 15psi.
