I see the head off but I don't see any damage? That's a good thing, eh? How bad is the gasket?

Toss in them arps and gasket and put that bitch back together! We got twisties to shred!

I'm thinking it's just a combination of all of the above that shane mentioned that led to this...pushing more boost, more power, more fuel, the car is gonna be ready to kick some ass after this.

When I blew the water pump freeze plug out on my car (like 311's did in teh video) it was on the street, doing 2-step at an intersection. I ended up going BACK to that intersection later to find the freeze plug, running through traffic to grab this shiny thing in the middle of a busy crossroads! When it happened, I suspected the head lifting and pressurizing the coolant chamber. I ordered ARP's soon thereafter and had shane install them via the 1x1 method and I have had zero issues since. 29psi daily now.
