Hello everyone, it’s been about 6 months now since I’ve had my truck running again thanks to all of you. I have a few questions, first of all, let’s talk about studding a 6.0L. I’ve been very busy with school and work and find I do not have a lot of free time lately. I’ve been wanting to stud my 6.0, came across some articles about a different method of studding. I’ve heard both good and bad things about putting in one stud at a time, meaning take one head bolt out, put one stud in and torque then repeat until you have all new studs in. Cant decide on this one lol as I’ve heard so many mixed opinions. I would like to know the real answer to that question, I’m leaning more towards that’s a bad idea but let’s hear what you guys think.
second, I’m looking to get into tuning. My truck is an 07 6.0, stock headbolts, turbo, and new oem motorcraft injectors. Truck has 211k on it. Upgrades that have been done to the truck are: atlas 40 ficm tune, intake and intercooler pipes, a 5 inch straight pipe and the blue spring kit. Besides that, truck is bone stock. I’ve heard that the looney tune by quick tricks auto is supposedly relatively safe for stock headbolts as long as it’s not constant beating. To what degree is this true? I’m thinking of getting the sct gtx performance monitor anyway to monitor all my vitals and figured might as well do some research on just how dangerous it can be to run a tune. Obviously I’m staying away from canned tunes, So theoretically, if I don’t beat the **** out of my truck, keep it under 28 lbs of boost, but Ofcourse the occasional light pull and maybe a few burnouts here and there... should I be relatively safe from the truck equivalent to a condom breaking?
