Ask Pica if he will sell them one at a time.

If you don't mind me asking why are you only going to run three stock sized studs? Why don't you forget the dowels and add three oversized studs?

I tend to agree with above, why not just run the oversized ones and forget the dowels.

When you guys are refering to "oversized" studs, how big are we talking? I have some .500" material that I'm going to be making some studs with.

Jay you and 680rwhp12a went and hijack the c4 tranny thread downing us with the c4's and all I said was a statement that when I am done with my car both of you guy's were going to be the first to know so we can do a little something . I am not going to give you the satisfaction right now as I stated you will be one of the first to get to see it personally upon completion .

srry to hijack the thread I will not post anymore on this thread other than the studs .

If I was you I would find someone thats has a cnc machine and have him cnc your housings along with the steels were you are placing the studs and be done with it . the cnc is extremely accurate and you will not run into any problem and by using the oversize one you will be set to run at higher boost .

I tried the atkins new desing corner seals on my BP and they didnt seal good enough,motor was a pain in the *** to start(new housings)i took it apart and installed a used set of OEM corner seals and the comp went up to 120psi and then after the first hour of running up to 125,Super Seals i used them in the past but they ruin my housings after 2000 miles(lost compression)so i was thinking about OEM or SC.
