Which head gaskets to use with my turbo setup?
Hi guys. I have tried searching and have gotten some mixed responses.
I am searching for a head gasket solution for my setup. I keep lifting my heads. My car over heats by the time I get to turn5 at thunderhill.
Anyway. If anyone has a reccomendation or suggestion, I would appreaciate it.
Setup.
Ls1 block
Stock crank.
Manly Billet Connecting rods. Stock length.
DRP dished 3.905 pistons.
ARP head studs.
Lq9 heads with fererra valvetrain and porting.
Ls7 lifters.
ACL bearings.
LPE cam.
Double roller chain.
60 # injectors.
76mm turbo.
10 psi of boost.
Any suggestions on what part number or other ideas would be great.
Also should I copper spray the head gaskets?
Thanks.

Thats baby boost..something must be wrong here.Way too much timing maybe?
Back timing way down and see if that helps. With head studs at that boost level can't see a problem.I like thick deck heads personally like AFR or Trick flo but still seen guys running stock heads to way higher boost levels. Maybe because you are in sustained high boost with your type of racing?
