Got the frozenboost.com 350HP AWIC kit ordered. Not the 600HP kit 8v-of-fury's been going on about, but it's big enough; I'm not even gonna crack 180 HP, so it's still twice as big which should be awesome for cooling all that pressurized air. I can't wait; this just leaves the trans mount situation to deal with and then the engine can go into the car!

Well, I tried to go out and torque down my main studs to 120 ft-lbs, but one of the middle ones decided that it wasn't having that.
It's all good; I'm on the internet looking for new ARP studs right now. I just had the lowest feeling in the pit of my stomach as I was rounding 100 ft-lbs and heard *CRACK*. I should be able to install the new studs with the head on-engine if the now-old ones feel like coming out. Really dodged a bullet there. I wouldn't recommend buying Raceware head studs, and this really call into question the main studs I installed from them, even though their installation was good. However I think this is because I didn't have the full thread of the stud sticking through, and I know that all the studs' nuts threaded past the top.

Either way, I'm searching for better head studs and crossing my fingers on the mains.
And Lucas, hit me up on the 'book, yo.
EDIT: Check out my clean wiring diagram for all my new accessories!

Well I'm gonna go silent for a for the work week because I have to save up for new engine hardware, but I do have a question before I order. Can you use the 1.6 main stud kit ARP 204-5402 on the AAZ without consequence? I'm going to completely replace all Raceware hardware in my motor with ARP after the head stud let go; I don't trust their stuff anymore.

I asked Summit a few questions about he ARP head stud kit - reponse was pretty quick. Wish I had used their main studs as well - but I stayed with stock. Great diagram - same one you sent me and it's nice and simple but covers just about everything.

Yes, the same headbolts are used so the same studs can be used. There is a TDI kit from ARP now, but I am still using the older ford cosworth kit that we have linked part #s to in the FAQ section.

Mains should definitely not be torqued to 120 ft-lbs. The pic looks like a head stud, not main.
