how much boost is safe to run on the stock head gasket and head bolts .any info would be great.

 

I ran a regular 50 psi with stock HG but with ARP headstuds until I hit 70psi the 1 day and spit it out in 3 places

 

yes you can run up to 50 psi for a good amount of time as long as u let the motor get up to temp before u start beating on it, im still on my stock headgasket and thts beacause i let my truck always warm up before getting into it at all

 

I know of two different trucks running between 60-65 psi on stock bolts and gasket. They do let it get up to temp and they overtightened their bolts. I personally wouldn't for the sake of not chancing snapping off the head of the bolts, but to each his own. Mine blew at around 52 or 53 pounds with the stock charger.
