Are you nervous about running high boost with that Boss block? I've been seeing a few head gasket failures once you get up near the 18+psi range. What are your plans for head studs and gaskets?

 

[stangfreak]

Iv seen people having problems with the boss block on the forum. But my friend aj, had a boss block on his twin turbo cobra. 8 second car with a 165 mph trap speed and never had one single problem with that block.

Can't wait to see the end result, what filter relocation kit did you get and do you have any pictures of it?

 

[cyclegrip]

I got it with my turbo headers, I think he said it was an mmr kit, I'll grab some pics
