Yep lots of people have done it and it works good.

Here is a pretty informative thread about the setup Ryan did.

Nope no timing cuz we are electronic controlled. And for head studs they are just time consuming to do. You just need to follow the torque sequence and do one at a time and do several torques on them and a hot torgue as well

What are you running for fuel?? hx35/s475 should be good to 550-600hp. maybe a little more. 35/472 will be a little less and offer quicker spool up. should be able to get the s475 and piping for around $1900. Studs will be another $400. Depending on your fueling you'll see anywhere from 55-75psi of boost. I'd also be thinking about oringing the head and getting 110# valve springs. Just remember you need to tune twins after you install them!!
