Count me in on this head mod. Should be getting the car back any day now, will break in the engine, then will add the mod just to be safe. Can only help right I'm actually excited to hear the 3 inch exhaust and wg dumps. I saved the clip from your site and listen to it almost every day I'm surprised that no one else has posted a vid clip of it yet though.

hahha, in order to be halfway effeicient we are grouping build orders. it is super hard for us time wise to do one at a time with each order. the other systems that have sold are in your same situation, waiting for the build to be finished. 350ZNV has posted a couple clips though.
i still have a couple head mod kits not spoken for off this second order. ya this is a good insurance mod. even if you are not leaking right now, this will keep the head sealed so it will have alot more tolerance to leak. if you wait till it is leaking, you may blow some of the sealing material off the headgasket and make it even harder to reseal even with this mod.

Let me know when it on it's way. Thank You !

Installing the supports before taking the car to Dyno/Track makes good sense.

Cheers Amy -

Would this be necessary for a fairly stock Vortech setup(8 or 9 psi) making less than 400whp?

Agree, for 110$ it's a cheap worryless sleep...

The thread and pitch are the same on VQ30 heads, any idea if the depth is the same? Ive been pumping 1.5bar lately and would hate to push a head up. I understand you dont want to share the length of the stud but if I measure the depth of my coolant passage from the wash seat to the support beam could you hook me up on a set?

overzealous,

how about some updates on the mod? how's your car taking the abuse? it's been a few weeks since you installed this mod.

i took a trip this weekend, about 300 miles. i abused the car pretty bad. when i got home i did lose a little water over the whole trip, but only about 1/2 an overflow tank. all in all, i could not of even made the trip before the mod even keeping entirely out of boost. so it seems to be doing it's job.

i forgot to mention, temps have been really high lately here, 102 on monday 90 yesterday and today (must be some freakish anonamoly) so that could comtribute to the water loss. will be going through and doing a larger rad, push fans, oil cooler and then thermal coatings on the pistons and chambers when i rebuild my motor soon. all that should make this thing not come close to overheating.

Now Scott why would you be honest and post that you lost some water, even thought it was 100 degrees. That could affect your sales man what are you thinking!
