car spent several hours on the dyno with a reputable local tuner.
I didnt really ask what the final timing numbers were- he mentioned being conservative as im pretty well known to drive my junk hard around here.
AFR was high 11.xx on E85- car made 557 thru a TH400 with the 17" drag radials starting to spin on the dyno at 15psi.

Just an update to anyone who finds this thread in the future.
Installed the LS9 gaskets ($91 shipped at Summit/price match gmpartsdirect) and Pro Comp studs and all is well.
car cruises at about 190* and will get up to ~195 in traffic.
Ive gotten in to boost several times- would have definitely overheated previously and it creeps to about 205-208 after 3-4 boost pulls then goes right back down to 195 within 30 seconds.
thanks for all the input.
I torqued to 75lbs using a 1/2 to 3/8 adapter and a small extension using oil.
there were some small QC issues I noticed, the hex in the top of the big studs was off center on a few and not very well finished- i did have to tap the hex drive socket into a few of them in a vise before installing them in the engine- I can live with that.
also the small studs had no hex- not sure if the ARP's do or not- just ran then down with a nut- held the smooth part of the stud with a pair of pliers and backed the nut off.
