Still rocking the PW2 cooler ? is this it or are you going for more lol Have always run the standard Ford one mate, that's what Colin, who built my engine has recommended, so I just popped another one of those on. I got confused with the head studs too, and they are in fact the 12mm Atomic studs, I wound them up to 120ft/lb, gradually from around 80, and they didn't show any sign of being overtightened. I think one day when I pull the engine out I might look at the 14.3 studs. Still the stage 2 as well lol, I will upgrade that sometime soon as well, but its coping fine in the cooler weather. I want more already, but moreso some more control over the fueling, so I am waiting to see what happens when Haltech release their plug and play unit.
