Head gaskets blow in pure stock too. Before I did ANY mods, I had my head gaskets replaced, and instead of using the stock head bolts, had ARP head studs installed.

Once the heads were buttoned down tight, I let the mods begin.

Agreed on HG's

They will go with or without! And yes, if you hang around here for a bit you will get twice as much stuff with that 3000 then if you spent it on banks. :handguns:

Holy crap!! 3 grand for that? Hope you're wearing steel underwear.

If it's what you like, go for it. But keep in mind you can get the same quality or better products for almost half of what stanks, ooops I mean banks charges.......

You can take the 3 g's get a programmer, headstuds, and exhaust. Might even have some money left over for fuel.
