Head gasket choice poll! Is it true Cometics leak a lot? I did some searching through posts but the results seem some do, some don't and im wondering what causes them to leak on some cars and other cars they fit great.

Felpros are Junk for the LS1 market in my opinion. Every car we do head swaps on we use stock. Its a MLS gasket which is awsome. I was hitting 250-300 on my stock gasket with no problems. I am stepping the can up this year so I might go with Cometics, but plan on blowing some other then the gasket when you use a cometic.

FEL pro sucks donkey *****... i sprayed my 200 shot and blew the head gasket 3 days after...
GM 6.0 MLS gaskets FTW, been spraying countless 200's and no leaking or seaping problems at all.

The factory MLS is hard to beat. Once you stray from stock the Fel Pro MLS is very nice as well as the Cometic. Cometic offers special bore size and thickness with additional lead time.

I also am in the market for new gaskets, and I understand that the GM MLS gaskets are a solid, proven setup, but what if you want to tighten the quench with a thinner gasket? What's the best choice then, from what I've read most people say cometic?

F body LS1s were not MLS, i dont know if they put them on GTOs or not but probably not.
if you go into a GM dealership now and say you want headgaskets for your LS1, they will give you MLS ones

Was it the performance MLS gasket? We have used them a few times with great results. Never over 1400hp yet, but soon.
