Have you researched cometic gaskets?

Nice to see another SC vette within an hours drive! Do you ever go to the drag stip (or so they call it) in Roxboro?

I was going to suggest that, but not sure if they were offered in that bore (4"?).

I have used cometic on both of my forced induction applications I have had. I like them, just make sure you have good surfaces when assembling.

Thanks for reply everyone. Sorry camminc5 but its a friend of mine 01 I'm working on. He had an LS7 destroked with custom internals built few years back. Blew headgaskets within few hundred miles of build. I believe it had the cometics on at the time.I've heard good things about the MLS gaskets,might go with those.
