i have posted this a couple times and was wondering at what psi of boost are studs and springs needed. i plan on in the future doing these mods.

tnt-r for the smarty
arson 3 or floor it kit
mitusa lift pump
triple disc converter and input output new clutches and bands
and possibly a new turbo 64 71 13

will i need springs and studs if i do these mods?

 

I don't think springs have anything to do with it unless you plan on running past 3700rpm. Studs seem to be a security unless your running 55lbs. boost or more.

 

so the stock head can handle a pretty good amount of boost taht is a bonus.

with the smarty tnt r it revs to 4000 so i would need them then correct! thanks a lot for the reply

 

I'm in the same sitution I just ordered some F1 springs so I can try my new bully tune. I was told it's streetable so I guess we'll see!

 

Whats the new bully Tune?

 

I don't think it's new it's really hard to get. senl that's all I can say.

 

The general rule is 3500 rpm's or 50 lbs of boost. You plan to break either of those you had better plan on springs and studs.

 

great response exactly what i was looking for

 

Head gasket also has alot if not more to do with drivepressure as well, also make sure your truck is fully warm. The numbers above are a good basis. Springs are also necessary for trucks with over 50psi even if they are not turning above 3500 rpm. Floating valves can cause big problems quick.

 

I'm with this guy ^^^^

 

I would also run a billet race drum in your Trans if you plan on running 4000 program for extended periods
