We did a 14psi pull by accident

and the damn dyno shut down at 4600rpm...but not before it had already made 690wtq and 659whp. Power was climbing lika biatch. Looked like it was going to be a 680whp pull

I'm surprised to hear the heads were lifting @ 13lbs but it takes a lot of cyl pressure to put out 750 crank hp!

So just going to ARP head bolts would cure the lifting problem? I got the head bolts not studs and am hoping I wont have head lifting problems with the nitrous.
