The 10 head bolts are more of a problem than the Fel Pros..

We have been over 15-1 with 1008 a bunch of times, race only though.

Hope that helps.

I've ran 8553PT (comes in Fel-Pro kit) with iron heads @ 13.1:1 and a good bit of
summer months detonation. No head gasket problems. (340, 269º @ .050" cam)
