That lets us know that you are a newby, and we need to be gentle with you...everyone except The Sickness...he is never gentle...you will love it here.
 
My tips:

-Don't reuse the factory head bolts. Buy a set of ARP bolts, or I would go with a head stud (truer torque over a bolt).
-Chase the threads in the block with the appropriate tap.
-Make sure the block and the heads (gasket surface) are completely clean and free of any oil or grease.
-If using stud, do not tighten the stud into the block. Thread the stud into the block using the moly lube ARP provides and then back it off a couple turns. This process results in a truer torque on the fastener.
-I like to use copper seal on my head gaskets (also intake and exhaust). You can get it at any auto parts store. Permatex makes it and it comes in a spray can.

i just got back from getting her dynoed. not to bad, 455rwhp and 497lbtq... i guess it could be better. the shop "B & T Performance" said its the highest they have seen. the last rc the had on there had 421rwhp and 469lbtq. i scaned the dyno sheet to my comp. but i dont know how to post it.
