Well, I've been predominantly playing singer/songwriter pop/rock for the last three years, but I love playing hard rock/metal and that's what I played for about 17 years.

Nice!

i know what the h--- head studs do..

i grew up around S/BBC and S/BBF... i learned to increase power w/ cams, carbs, heads, valvetrain, etc. then i switched to tuners and 4-cyl's and people increasing power using new head gaskets, cam gears, and such.

so i figured, just cuz i hadn't heard of headstuds to increase power, didnt mean they didn't.

i was just asking, damn guys

Well you can make a little more power via the headgasket. If your all motor, you can run a thinner head gasket (cometic) or the such, and that will increase your compression slightly. A lot of people like to mill the head when doing this, to achieve much higher compression and avoiding a short block build which can be costly.
