I would not fire ring a street driven daily driver as they tend to fail due to the excessive amount of heat duty cycles. Most everyone I know who has been fire ringed on their street truck all have had failure of them within short milages and then have gone to a o-ringed head. O-ringed head is more street friendly and will cause you less headaches in the long run.



As for towing twins... .

HX40/HT3B is one of the best bangs for the buck you can find for twins. They will do the job you want and still make good power if you decide to tune for power later. You could also go with a small S300 over a small S400 and not go wrong either... ... . Andy

Thanks andy for the info. What is the difference between o ringing and fire ringing i always thought they were two of the same things. Thanks

I had no trouble with the stock head gasket and bolts at the kind of power you are making now. I am very happy with my BD twin turbos. They have lasted at least three times as long as a single turbo with my usage, and they are still going strong.
