The head bolts in a F20c look almost twice as strong as the ones in a b18c

when u go forced induction, there are alot of things that u need to consider. for starters begin with the compression. u will have to give up some of the compression in order to run generous amounts of boost, u can do that with just a thicker head gasket, i found that the copper once hold best under extreme heat. as for the head studs i would go with ARP if they manufacture any for this particular motor, it is a good investment and they are reusable, i have seen in some instances head bolts that stratch that are required to be changed every time the head comes off the block. arp head studs are forget, and thermal treated. u can use them as much as u want.
