Would a 3-angle valveseat job require the valves to be re-ground, also? Expected cost?

Valve jobs do raise the spring install height slightly. I know ZZP compensates for this with thier heads. Possibly with a shim?

I'm not really sure about the pricing. As Ben mentioned, it would probably be best to give a shop a call.

if you plan on running 12+lbs of boost on your DD either gaskets are fine (if the MLS seal, and 1 out of 5 don't due to instal error). However either way you go the studs are very helpful in keeping the Felpros from blowing out. Stock TTY bolts suck under boost..for the $40 more you get 10x the reliability.
