It would be a good idea to do them, they are pretty much like studs, insurance. You put them on to keep something from happening at a time when it is inconvenient or damaging other parts. Esp for that price.
And Jim, if I was you I would deff do studs too if you are planning on running the injectors we talked about.

Studs are for the higher hp builds when you're pushing over 30lbs of boost consistently. I don't think you need to go for those quite yet.
And even better than having Jim or me there... Corey might come. Corey puts Jim and I to shame when it comes to spinning wrenches.

Only if you're building a higher hp higher boost motor.

Don't underestimate Cory... he's Chuck Norris with a wrench. And I know it's been a while. As much as I'm looking forward to Spring Fling it can take its time getting here cause I need mod money before then.

I'm quite positive I couldn't do an axle swap in the middle of a KOA campground with the tools that I've got on my truck. Therefore you win.
