Default Head Gasket for BLower
Putting my engine back together...running a Procharger with 7lbs of boost and stock LS1 heads...is there a recommended head gasket (Cometic?) to use with a supercharged application? My builder says use the stock GM gaskets for what I have.

Stock are good but you could also go to COMETIC, I'm using a .060 Cometic gasket on my set-up

Thanks,Matt

Go Cometic with ARP studs..... You wont regret it. Stock gaskets work well, that you cant deny, but the cometics are supperior. Ive never blown one out, cant say the same for factory.
