• Note - be sure to snoop around and read threads here on head stud torque.. it's debated that the documentation included with them isn't considered appropriate for our cars.. I think i read the other day that someone is running high boost and torqued them to 100lb ft
  
  I think I recall reading about someone lifting the head running the manufacturer specified torque on studs.

  that extra 1/4 turn probably isn't doing the studs any good.. or the threads in the block!
