I am interested in the load leash but will it also cause excessive drive pressure, cylinder pressure, or additional stress on the engine?

I have measured more than 70 psi of drive pressure just under acceleration with the stock turbo.
Did not measure the drive pressure on this truck.
Cylinder pressure is what blows head gaskets i dont think the EB will blow head gaskets.
I have blown my head gasket on my 2010, have only 35,000 miles
Atleast Pacbrake engineered the spacer plate for Arp head studs. Pacbrake does replace three head bolts with head bolts with studs on top to secure the brake.
