My 97 cummins has a mondified fuel plate got the exaust manifold and intake maniforld an intake 4" downpipe to 5 " exaust and step up injectors and a vlavle body on my tranny wich hasnt had any trouble handing what i got in it right now. I do not have a fire ring head studs or my KDP removed. Would i be playing russian rullet if i put some big injectors in there and a turbo or should i go with saftey first do all the safety thing before i go for the power?

 

I would do it right and do firering and head studs then the turbo and injectors...........I dont like breakin stuff

 

i would no doubt put the kdp repar tab on b4 anything because its cheap and easy, should only take 2 hours. if you don't do that atleast you will be in beg trouble

 

I'd get that kdp tabbed first thing!

 

kdp first, secound toss out the fire ring idea and get the o-rings cheeper, easyer and wont leak fluid after time, and studs, stock gasket and studs will take 50psi boost no problem, o-ring with studs 60-65psi no problem

 

x2 just a set of head studs will get you far

 

if your not planning on twins o-ring and studs is over kill studs are a cheep insurance policy to keep from blowing head gaskets

 

If you get the head hot before you beat on it the stock head bolts will suprise you

 

i didnt meen the studs are over kill its a cheep insurace policy to blowing headgaskets. 400+- for studs is cheeper than 4 headgaskets and 8 hours time on each one
