Wow, that's sick.

Make sure you run ARP head studs and a copper-coated OEM gasket. That should help your head seal. If you still have problems, you may need to deck the head just a tiny bit to make sure it is still level. I know some friends that had coolant issues that resulted in overheating. After they overheated, the head warped enough not to seal well.
