EGR has nothing to do with tuner and stud relations. A tuner is going to raise cyl.preasure on a already weak head bolt layout design. For some stupid ... reason the 6.0 had a reduction in the number of head bolts surrounding each cylinder. Basically it has 4 bolts per cyl. for a total of 10 bolts for compression purposes, compared to the 7.3 which has 6 bolts per cyl. total of 18 bolts, remember some inner bolts are used for two cyl's thats why total numbers are lower. Plus the type of bolt used doesn't help. I dont like "TORQUE TO YIELD" bolts, I've seen tooo many failures in this bolt (ALL-THREAD) design sense the mid 90's in gassers that dont have our compression
