Don't know if bigger studs will be necessary or not. Seems like it would offer better clamping force since there are only 2 of them. Might help if you plan to go 10 psi or higher.

Bigger studs won't help....the sealing issue is not a clamping one but similar to our ls1 head/block clamping issue in that not enough bolts. When I tried to use a somewhat thin flange, upon tightening the sealing surfaces inbetween the bolts would flex and allow exhaust pressure to leak out...so i just made mine thicker and since have not had any issues. I wanted to use the factory gaskets but at the time when i did it i couldn't find anyone who had a picture of them (knowing that they are indeed layered steel is nice and would have made me use them) or could not find anyone who carried them, so i improvised and made my own.
Nice work MeanYellow!
And thanks James...I hope so and hope to one day be cool on here

well I drove mine all year with no problems with the C6/ turbo setup....however.....the stock 5.3 didnt like over 17lbs on pump gas a whole lot.....
In the middle of a second C6 setup for an S10 and almost finished with my first custom header setup

I just picked up a set for $30 as well and in the spring hope to play around with them and see if I can get a T6 GT88 setup to work in an FD RX-7. My custom tubular turbo headers were lost by Fedex and now I'll try to make my own which I should've done in the 1st place. Hell I have a TIG why not use it.
What is the most HP someone has made with these manifolds? Anyone hit 1000rwhp?
