OK, heres the build up, I'm running a SCM61 on a 6bolt. Since I like to push things, and don't have to rely on this car for transportation I sometimes run upwards of 35psi of boost. The engine has ARP standard head studs with a MLS head gasket installed (by someone else, unknown how tight they torqued em). Guess my question is is there any proof that these are stronger/weaker than the OEM 6 bolt head bolts? Cause the car pushes coolant under power now. 3-5 pulls and it blew out 2 quarts of water out of the cooling system, causing it to run hot (surprise surprise).
