[QUOTE="SlowSVT, post: 14446493, member: 20202"] Getting an engine to withstand 50 lbs of boost where they normally wouldn't take past 15 lbs is impressive. I think Ford pushing out the mod motor to 5.8 is a "bridge too far". Not many of the 13/14 GT500 seem to boost their engines to the level 03/04 and 07-12 GT500 guys have ............ than again, "like it really needs it!" Wow, 130 ft lbs on the head studs. That's pretty huge. At that level I start to worry about the threads tapped into the block rather than the studs themselves especially in aluminum. I am planning on torqueing the bare Boss block to 110 which and check the line bore and bearings saddles and lower bore for distortion having all those studs buried deep in the block. Campaigning a race car and building engines I am sure this is something you have already checked. Any observation with regard to the effects of using such high torque values on the squareness of the block? At 50 psi something tells me just holding the engine together might take priority LOL [/QUOTE]
