MLS wont pop one of those, But u will bust a rod or fry a piston if not tuned good!

PT1's will serve as a sort of "fuse" NO MLS on a stock block.

for 1 the pt1's will out live the block as far as power goes. If your tune isnt perfect they will blow (usually) before something else does. Why pay 200 for a set of headgaskets that are not needed? And if you didnt have the deck of your block surfaced...Good luck on getting them to seal.

Better to use weak gaskets with a power adder. I've always said this.

this isnt good, the sealing part. Never had my block decked or surfaced. Pulled down smacked mls on with some copper sealer and let her eat. How long would it take to tell if they havent seated? And sorry to hi jack ur thread bro!
