Default Need Big Boost Big Bore Head Gaskets
I'm looking for a head gasket that I can run with 20+ psi of boost on a 4.080 bore? What is the bore on the new MLS 5-layers and can they handle boost?

The few people I have heard that used those had nothing but issues. I had a set and ended up selling them because of what I was told by numerous people.
