thanks for the reply
original head bolts and gasket are fine- might be worth putting some ARP bolts on your big ends though as they can be a weak spot at approx 200bhp.
If your gonna do it right the first tim can i reccommend you get a better chip from the likes of MSD or somewhere else so you can get details of the chip setup and other aspects to aid with your project.
I run a collins chip and found while it does the job the map is quite bad and it took a fair bit of fiddling with my wideband to get the fueling in the right ballpark.
