IMO when there are 2 reputable parties arguing and both believe they are 100% correct... its hard to know who is genunine and who is bullshitting. But usually the bullshitter is the one with the most to loose....

Update Guys

My little problem with boost not holding after 5500RPM is now fixed and **** yeah its nice to drive now

Installed a new GCG 8 pound actuator and she holds boost all the way to red line no problems at all

also make my idle far smoother.

I went from 11psi to about 8psi but shes now noticeable quicker.. can't wait for 10psi once my head gasket is fixed in two weeks...

$130 bucks well spent

Ahh good good. Thats definatly one way to fix it.. Dunno why, but the standard actuator is a POS.

Hey Guys

I'm about to get my new HG installed but I not 100% sure torque setting..

ARP list 60 ftlbs

http://www.d-series.org/forums/showt...t=78591&page=2
Recommend 70 ftlbs

Guys on here say 75 ftlbs to 85 ftlbs

??????

So are you using the ARP Head studs or OEM bolts?

Because that would make a difference as to how much torque you apply

ARP studs and bolts

**Limbo** · 09-03-2008 12:34 PM

i'd go with manufacturer's specs. They made them i'm sure they know how much they should be torqued to

You can't have studs AND bolts; dumb ass it's either one or the other
When using ARP fasteners you should use ARP torque settings... Seriously just go read the FAQ on ARP website -_-

Studs and nuts

Bolts

Learn the difference
