I tried to set this up as a poll, but it's too open ended and too many choices, lol. I also tend to snowball projects like a MOFO, so help me reel it in maybe, hehe.
I have 200k on the '02. HG's are believed to be original and I have no issues. I will be tearing her down to pull the injectors and bumping up to 65 over SAC and adding an S475/stock compound kit and 12mm; SBE only. While she's apart, it's a good time to pull the heads and stud her.
Here's the first stop! ASSuming that I can't find a good used set of ARP studs, should I go new ARP, DHD, Xotic, other?
Main hurdle - the LB7 heads. In no particular order of preference: Clean em up and slap em back on with studs and grade C wave gaskets? Have a shop true 'em up first and then same? Remove and reseal all cups? Run Socal hold downs and studs and don't worry about the cups at this level... maybe take the saved money and do springs? Pony up for Freedom? Leave them the hell alone and ghetto in some studs one at a time. Any combination of these or something else?
I appreciate most learned opinions and all snarky remarks; sexual innuendo on snowballing a plus.
