Ok, help me out here..

I got a 97 Eclipse GSX 2.3L bottom end coming... stock head (well besides what i wanna add below)

I need to know if the mitsubishi multilayer hg will hold up to high boost on a fp green w/ a 2.3L bottom end? Im also looking for arp head studs cheap, ive checked ebay and stuff but they got like 3 different part #'s Help there too?

Also i would like to get a set of cams.. but the money is tight, so wheres a cheap place to buyem? and should i go w/ 272 or 264's?

Thanks in advance..

Yes the Mitsu MLS will hold if it installed properly.

Buy the ARPs, ebay, this site, and dsmtrader are the only places I would expect to find them cheaper than new. Make sure that you have the correct ones for you block ( 6bolt/7bolt dependant)

Cams are preference, however I would jump straight to the 272s or FP3s... or if you want something a bit cheaper, get the BC 272s.

2.3l, I would go strait to BC280's. Lots of people have been deep into the 10's with stock OEM head gasket/ARP combo's. Metal head gaskets need a finer RA finish done on the deck surface and head to seal correcrtly, and stay together better at higer boost. Cost's a little more. There are pro's and cons to each. A stock head gasket will be the weak sause in the engine and will fail (hopefully) before you cause any significant damage and seal to just about any simi stait surface.
