    Do I Really Need to Upgrade

    I tow a 11k 37 foot camper all summer.

    My mods are:
    H&S tune with transmission tune
    Full delete
    Turbo back exhaust
    S&B intake
    Boost fooler

    Should I be safe on stock head bolts, or should I install head studs.

    Boost can get to 38 I think in the mountains.

    I don't plan to add to much more power right now.

    Don't want to buy a new transmission at this time.

    It never hurts to have head studs.

    If your pushing the turbo that high it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to just get some 425's.

    There are lots of guys who don't upgrade and are fine and others who have issues.

    Just really depends on your driving style but to me it's cheap insurance.

    I second the head studs.

    The 425s are not that expensive so they're cheap insurance.

    Push it hard while lugging it? = High cyl pressure = head studs.

    Push it hard but let it rev = lower cyl pressure = prob able to let it slide.
