I thought I read somewhere it only done it when it was hot. When you get your motor freshend up you should think about O-ringing the block and studing it. Worked for me ysi 20 psi no intercooler with meth never had a problem even when I made a mistake with the BTM and ran 30 degrees timing and melted 5 pistions.

I did not know your was o-ringed and studded. I knew it was HP related just thought maybe cinching the gasket might compensate for the head lift. Your car impresses the hell out of me to say the least. I am KIND of throwing around the idea of putting a ls2 with a 76-80 or so in my coupe.

Its not o-ringed, doing that will just make my 2000.00 heads worthless and probably wont help my situation much. Its been holding fine with the AFR heads at 14-15 psi so thats where I'll leave it for now. I really wanted to go 8s with the 346 but unless I lose some weight, go to manual steering and some lighter drivetrain stuff it probably wont happen. I could do it with more boost I guess but I'd rather race it then fix it
