Let's not get out of control with this and stay on topic but if your tuned and still going strong on stock head bolts lets hear it I have the mods in my sig on stock head bolts no problem so far I know on a 6.0 it's not if they blow it's when they blow I know this but how many miles on stock bolts have y'all gone?

I think a poll should be added to this thread to give an idea of percentages and mileage.

10,000 miles when I tuned it with Matt's SRL

12,650 currently and loving every minute. Going to pick up a Looney and see which I like better, and at some point will do the studs so I can pump up the power

Im at 155k on stock bolts. Has anyone tried the Looney Wild with stock bolts yet? I havent tried it as to Vivian doesnt reccomend it with the TTY's. But I was just curious

Dont be, as long as you have a good monitor system and everything is in check, and you dont abuse it there is no reason your headbolts wont last, not saying stuff doesnt happen but I feel it would be very unlikely. I run the Super Pantie Dropper with a Pmax on stock headbolts and am fine.

I'm running innovative extreme race tune as a dd and I drive like I'm on fire from time to time with 135000 on the clock and now issues yet. Mi put down 428rwhp and 761ftlbs. And I run 35's.

106,000+ miles and no issues yet but it isn't driven that hard

mad 405 drove it from 88xxx-121xxx tuned innovative extreme race was fine until we hit it with a little nitrous made 525 and 915 just spraying through the filter ran fine for a few more weeks until a heavy load and a led foot took care of the gaskets.
