If your tune is off, kiss them goodbye...

With a good tune on our LS engines, it is not common to have any head gasket problems unless you're pushing a lot of boost. Bob

Bob,

That was what I meant to say, I'm a little jaded because I just finished replacing mine because of tuning issues???
Replaced 'em when I put the blower on my WS6 too, damn I never learn..

STAY OFF THE GAS UNTIL TUNED PROPERLY!!!!

Get a good shop to tune it, and you will have no problems (unless you go nuts on the boost)...

Any kind of FI can blow head gaskets pretty quickly.99% of the time it is due to bad tuning or not enough fuel supply
