| Also my next question is which one should I go with. I want more power so thinking about going thinner but worried about detenation due to the supercharger. Planning on getting the car tuned rather then this BS AA tuning looking at doing aquamist too to cool the cylinder temps. Thanks |

| The VAC/Cometic HG is very nice...you wont have to worry about blowing it using the ARP head studs....but it will leak...to prevent this...it is a must to have the head machined for an MLS gaskets...I forget the amount of RA or microns it needs to be polished..but it will look almost mirror smooth when properly done. If George is using these gaskets..I would ask him ...the steps hes taken to get them to seal properly when running high boost.

| I am not exactly running high boost yet I am running an AA supercharger but am currently looking at doing Aquamist and 100 shot of nitrous on it. So I guess that would make it high boost. What is gonna let go in this motor when it decides to let go??? What is the purpose of the ARP head bolts are the factorys stretch bolts?? Thanks for all the info Last edited by GOTUBCH : 10-11-2004 at 08:18 AM. |

| Sure you can just spin it faster. Max rpm for it is 100,000. AA is spinning at 98,000. It will only see those speeds for a split second at redline. I have not done this yet not sure if I am still gonna need to with the Nitrous. Thanks, D |
