yeah… overall he should have gained 100hp over stock. ---

> [@theblue](#): > > I’ve been watching headstud threads on evoM since 2003… the conclusion I’ve made is that replacing them without removing the head is just as shady as not doing them at all so it’s a wash. Also, I’ve never seen a case where the stock ones caused a real problem until you’re over 450whp and even then I can’t think of a case (mostly because people have upgraded at this point?) Me and Klemann did my head studs without removing the head. I had no leaks and I’m happy I did them. I ran up to 28lbs of boost with no problems. You have to make sure you re-torque them after a few days so you don’t blow your head gasket. If you get some motivation, we have these head studs IN STOCK at Swerve. Give us a call if your interested. ---

Give us a call if your interested. I don’t have my evo anymore ☹ have you guys ever seen a real case of the stock ones failing? it was a much bigger deal with DSMs so people just brought that logic to the evo is what I suspect. ---

> [@joesansone17](#): > > hmmm, maybe well see… How much power were you making letitroll? If I had to guess, I’d say I was making above 350 whp. I only did street tuning so, I don’t have a definitive number. I did have an upgraded FMIC and piping which helped increase efficiency at high boost levels. The car could have done high 11’s with a better driver no problem. Those head studs are $118 with the NYSPEED discount and we have them here if your interested. ---

Sure man, It is super easy once the cams are installed. Klemann knows the proper order to do them. From my personal experience, if you re-torque them after a few days you should be good. Like I said, I had no problems and I beat the crap out of my car. ---
