Hello guys how are you all doin, I'm at the final step to collect my parts for a stroker kit and full rebuilding my block. So I have a couple of question and I need your help :help:
I bought the FRPP 4.6L 4V Head Changing Kit M6067T46 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-NEW-Ford-Racing-4-6L-4V-Head-Changing-Kit-M6067T46-/271648693635?hash=item3f3f861d 83) and the kit has gasket but I'm not sure can I use it for Forced Induction application? and the head bolt is it good for let say 500HP? or should I go for ARP?
Also I want to buy a full gasket kit, which site you recommend thats has the full gasket kit? is this ONE from modmax racing (http://www.modmaxracing.com/03_04_COBRA_4V_4_6_Complete_Ga sket_Kit_p/felfs26187pt.htm) OK?
Sorry for the bad writing and think you guys :hug2:

Not related to this, but what compression ratio are you building for the stroker?

That's the kit I used on mine. I just sprayed copper coating on both sides of the head gaskets. The bolts held up to 26#s of boost so far. I would have used studs but I kind of exceeded my HP goals by a couple hundred. So far no issues to speak of.

Not 100% sure as until now 9.6 is that ok? or too high maybe :dunno:

That's good to know Thankx, But should I escape the ARP 2565701 4-Bolt Main Stud for 4.6L (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O07LBG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_sfl_title_3&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER)? Is that right?

Get the ARP head stud kit. They can be reused. The OEM bolts are one-time use, so you need to buy either bolts or studs. If you get the bolts, you risk having to buy them again if you have to pull the heads in the future. And the mains are the same way, get the ARP stud kit. The 9.6:1 CR is a good choice. Most of the head gaskets are of MLS construction, they're all good. Cometic is supposedly the best brand, but I don't really think there is much difference between brands.

As mentioned, the CR is good. I only ask because some stroker kits bump the CR up to 10.5 or higher and that is not as good for supercharging.

I was under the impression all else being the same besides the crank, compression would normally go down when stroking

I didn't say all stroker kits . I don't know each of his components. It was just to be aware that. Not all stroked motors are candidates for boost

Take this info and run with it. I never planned on exceeding 525 when I had the Trilogy and also never planned on working on it again. Add in a tight budget and bolts it was, not by choice, but has held up.

Stock bolts can handle 1000rwhp
