if you run high compression use arp studs

Do people not use studs? They are so cheap these days you'd be crazy not to.

What sort of fuel system are you running? If your going to be running decent boost and decent compression you need to have a fuel system that is up to the task. Without fuel, an engine don't last very long.

One last point. What sort of headgasket are you using? I'd suggest you use a standard (or standard type) gasket. That way it acts like a fuse if there is a problem with detonation. If it pings its head off for some reason it will blow the headgasket before it blows anything else.

fuel system im using is RC 550cc injectors, Sard Fuel Reg, AEM Fuel Rail and Walbro 255hp Fuel pump i think that more then enough...

About the head gasket im still thinking about what to use OEM or aftermarket.

im not going to run really high boost but i have ordered ARP headbolts anyways. What the torque setting for the head bolts anyways?

Go with oem head gasket and you dont need the AEM fuel rail. Since its a street car you dont need sleeves, stock sleeves can handle about 300kw. If you're after more power for the strip then just use good fuel.

Not investing in a even length manifold?

Welz i already bought AEM fuel rail anyways to make the engine bay look nice lolz. How much is OEM headgasket for trade price anyways SLOWEGG? i dont think i will be making any were close to 300kw? yerh i just use BP ultimate most of the time anyways wont be going to the strip that much once i break in the engine i go down the strip see how it goes then after that for my enjoyment anyways.

even length manifold? is that custom made ones eg. ram horn style ect?

Yeh like ramhorn style.. 300kw with your setup? get a nice turbo and manifold easy.

nah im keeping my iron cast manifold, im on a tight budget spending most of my money on the block and head, maybe lata on down the track

You know you dont even need to headwork, a stock head will make plenty of power. You should just worry about building a strong end build and turbo kit you can leave your head stock.
