[QUOTE="F8L BYT, post: 15441210, member: 18866"] So car always ran strong after the swap, but unfortunately tuning for the nitrous it looks like it went lean and the famous # 7 & 8 cylinders in the 2011 engine had enough. So I have been debating on the route I wanna go. The plan was to run nitrous this year and then get rid of it and turbo it this winter. But now I need the engine first. So do I buy a 2016 short block and turbo it for a year or two and keep it ~700 while I build a good trans / cage / fuel system etc or Do I build the short block I have for 1200+. but going this route means no turbo or anything else this winter and running it NA next year and putting wear and tear on the engine and bearings. I am leaning more towards the 2016 short block for now, but I have 2011 heads and I know 11/12 cars used different size (13mm I believe) head bolts compared to 13-16 cars have the 11mm ones???? So does that mean it won't work and I would need newer heads?
