    Are you talking about head stud kit or head bolts?

    I already run ARP head bolts. We are talking about a stud kit.

    I o ringed my head a little less than a year ago following superhauler’s advice. I used ARP head bolts and made sure all my liners were flat and had good protrusion and it’s been doing fine. Talk to superhauler and he will get ya on the right path. He’s very knowledgeable and a super nice guy!

    It isn't HP related, and it is a flat $1000 to have the head ringed and expansion ports filled.

    Look into fastenal for shipping quotes.

    My personal opinion is do it regardless of hp. Either smoking can give you the contact in a private pm or I.
