what kind of boost do you think the stock head gasket can tak on a gt3071? i ask because im going to go get the car tuned on thursday and want a imposed limit on what they wil tune up to. i plan on going back or just doing some tuning myself at a later date (after i do a mls gasket). i was thinking 15 psi is aroung safe to tell them, then again i dont really mind being forced into doing the head gasket this weekend if it blows a little....:eek4:

Go 19psi if the tuning is good. Headgasket blows from lean conditions, high intake temps, and detonation. As long as tuning is kept in check youll be fine at whatever boost you run. Stock headgasket is stronger than most people think as long as engine conditions are kept in check.
