Closed deck
If I do go so far as to make any bottom end mods on this build it would be to close the deck.
This would go along way towards strengthening the assembly, particularly in the area of the headgasket.
My machinest has told me that many head gasket failures will start with poor headbolt performance, stretching under boost and allowing the hot gasses to burn the gasket. This is why an ARP stud kit will be used.
And as far as Nitrous goes, anything over a 100hp shot and I would be looking at a full wet shot system on this build.
Compared to a rebuild its not that much more and if you run a seperate
fuel system you can hit it with 104 to help prevent det.
