Anyone having any issues running the stock head gasket other than just running a low amount of boost? Anyone making 400whp on stock head gasket? I'm not planning on going with the 3mm head gasket on my setup and was trying to find some other people running with out it. Thanks!

 

With a Full race tubular you should be able to hit 400 with the stock hg.

 

JohnZ makes over 400whp with the stock HG and a Vortech SC. Some other guy did it with the Comptech SC and the stock HG but I can't remember his handle.

 

Cool thanks!
I've got alot of stuff already for the kit, im waiting for the manifold to get finished being made, ill make a build thread pretty soon with all the pic's of my toy's!
Thanks for the help!

 

No problems with my current setup. I've run 7.5, 9, 10.5 and now 14 on stock compression/stock head gasket. I good tune is paramount.

 

is anyone runnin more than 10 lbs of boost on the stock hg turbo? Im currently running 9 lbs on the stock hg and want to up the boost without going 3mm.

 

I will be going with a 4" pulley on my Vortech.thats about 10psi, and i'll be running my stock HG...I should hit 400whp.

Tony palo @ T1 will be tuning mine so I know the tune is in good hands

 

I Agree

400WHP with Stock HG here!

tuning is a must!

 

The only guys that really run much more than 10psi on the stock HG are us supercharger guys. I think we can get away with it primarily because you don't see peak boost until you're at redline...so it's only for a second. You turbo guys see peak boost at 4 or 5k rpm...since the motor is seeing a lot more boost through the rev band I would probably play it safe if I were you.
