NO! Myself and a friend have combined over 220,000 miles on '95 heads in blower applications with no signs of head damage. I believe the 93 - 95 castings were slightly thicker than the 96-97 castings.

96-97 castings are slighlty thinner. I talked with Lloyd about it and he said you just can't port as much on those heads as you can 92-95 castings.TPIS won't even accept them for an exchange if you were to do the ported heads thru them.

I'm not sure about that but I have heard a lot of 95's blow head gaskets.
Mine did. They also found a head cracked when they did mine but it wasn't the head that blew the gasket.
