well first, i’d get ARP head studs. also obd2 bottom ends were not forged cranks, rods or pistons. so youre 1 step back there. they oiling systems kind of suffer at higher rpm’s/increased demand. so id get an oil pressure gauge with a warning indicator. watch the EGT’s. buy a WB02 like an innovate LC-1 with DB gauge. sometimes the cooling systems arent up to snuff either… just gotta keep your eye on it. ---

I know about the engine not having forged internals like the OBD1 cars. Why should I replace the head studs? I plan on getting a wideband.
