Aroura 5000 and stock head gasket. What will it hold

[drasko]

Im thinkin of going to the aroura 5k and was thinking if i needed to fire ring my truck yet or just head studs or just leave it. My truck on the stocker in wot has been able to reach the high 40 psi range for the last 30k miles with no problems. I will be running stock sticks, smarty, and maybe stacking my quad race with it plus i have the gdp 392 plus big line and my valair clutch will hopefully be in within the month. So whats your opinions, on this daily driver, just try it and see or just put in head studs and can i wait on them and put them in a little later? Should i hold off on the fire ringing? Thanks in advance

Just stud it and forget about it!!

 

[drasko]

what psi are the stock HGs holding and can i do a wastegate or check valve to limit the psi til i get it studded? how much can i hold with just studs and no fire ringing? i know im just full of questions?

Dont think there is a wastegate on the A5000 is there?



I called ATS and they said wastegate is your right foot...

i was gonna do the big check valve kinda thing and do a check valve on the tube from turbo-intrclr and one intrclr-engine to keep it at a good 50psi... . this sound like a good idea? now which check valves to use!?!?!?!?

Here's a quote I had saved from a previous thread:



"The factory gasket is perfect on 03 and above. It's multi-layered and is good at or slightly above 60 psi with studs. " –Reb B, Brown’s Diesel
