Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) head gaskets

[TIngram]

what does it take to blow a head gaket and how much hp can the stock head gasket take. just wondering out of curiosity. is it the heat that gets to them or all of the boost.

High Boost numbers, and relaxed head bolts.

Also, running your engine hard before peak water temp.
