do you use the GM MLS head gaskets for all your engine builds regardless of displacement and hp output? just curious.

I am running the gm mls ls7 head gaskets on my afr 225s and 408 . Cometic would be my choice if have any trouble with these ls7 head gaskets. I am hoping the ls7 can take up to 20psi max but likey won't need to go past 15psi to hit my power goals.

Yes we do for the GM blocks. On the Warhawk blocks we used Fel-Pro. Bob

I used the cheap felpro stock replacements. A light coat of engine enamel on them and put together while tacky. Once baked on you'll never get them apart.. 15psi + nitrous for 3 years now and never an issue.
