Powermax on stock HG and headbolts?

Just curious how many people are doing this? I would like to to ARP's first but my local dealer said it would be around $5k! I guess they're on the high end. I thought about doing them myself, I'd like to but its still kinda intimidating. Anyways I just want to know if anyone has had problems running one on stock HG and headbolts or what. I have a good aftermarket warranty so if they blow, I might get studs done then. Just want to here what you guys think.

I am going to be trying it, but I am going to be doing an EGR delete, replacing oil cooler, banjo bolts, and the fuel spring upgrade.

The turbo alone will not cause the head gaskets to fail. I would say 75% of people we sell the PowerMax to have stock bolts/gaskets.

I have about 5000 miles on my powermax with stock bolts and gaskets running Erics extreme street as my dd, with no problems so far!

My cousin has the Extreme race from Eric with the full solutions kit and I think my truck will run on his with just the SRL tune. I will be running my truck like this until I have enough saved up for some new injectors and labor on for that and studs; I need about $2000.
