Well my Vortech SQ finally blew he stock head gasket(s), now it's time to stop fooling around and put real heads on it, here's my plan:
AFR 165 Street Outlaw Heads ( CARB approved )
42 lb injectors and calibrated MAS airflow sensor
ARP Cylinder head studs
Com Cams steel roller rocker arms
The cars is a weekend driver and I consider it a high speed cruiser, still has all stock accessories including A/C (get's pretty hot here in So. Cal.) it's in cherry shape with 68,000 miles on the 'clock', very comfortable ride.
My question:
Should I have the heads milled for a wire lock head gasket ?
I get 10 lbs of boost (indicated) at over 5500 rpm with the Cobra intake and ceramic shorties recently installed.
I do not plan to ever go over 6,000 on the tach.
