gosh, i think you need a tune even though its only 2psi. if your blowing head gaskets.

i hate to say it but i dont think the cost of the kit is worth the 4mph.
with just a cam and headers you can pick up over 10mph.

i blew a header gasket not a head gasket Now i broke my Ram clutch i picked up 4 mph in the 1/8 on 2psi but the car is going to be tuned with 42# injectors and a inline with methanol for 8 psi
4 mph in 1/8 just on 2 psi the kit is worth it wait until i get it tuned then it will be really worth it!!! and on the 2psi on the wideband my air/fuel was 11.7-12.0 safe to me

I have just bought the STS kit for my Silverado SS we will be running 43lb injectors, larger in tank fuel pump a methanol kit with dual stage boost 7 on the low side and 9 on the high(this is when we will be shooting the methanol) hope to see some good hp gains and then take it to the track and see what we can through down in the 1/4

are you running a bigger pump with the injectors? It would be nice to have a bit of a cushion if the methonal system happens to fail for whatever reason
