was wondering if im goin to be lookin at a blown headgasket with my setup? and if i need to do head stud before i do anything else? currently i have the followin:

afe stage 2 intake
pmt 4 inch straight pipe exhaust
ATS Epower (lvl 10 = 350hp)
ppe boost increase valve
ppe lift pump w pickup line kit
modify cp3
water/methanol injection system

head you need head studs around 500-600hp and if my head math is correct im gettin close to that. lemme kno what your thoughs are

you shouldn't need head studs with the stock charger. you don't need studs unless your making 50+ psi of boost, and the stock charger shouldn't be ran above 32 psi.
