WOW! What size bore and what size gaskets? Mine blew 7 out of 8 on the dyno. It blew between the cylinders. I have a 4.030 bore and the gaskets were a 4.155 I think. I think the huge gap caused my problems!
The tech a cometic said it shouldn't be a problem! 
Good luck and POST SOME NUMBERS!!!

Those are some ****** SICK wagon wheels! You need to use those bitches as skinnies!
I'll throw in a guess at 1450 - 1500 ish. Thats one badass setup. W2W = amazing
Can't wait for numbers!

Well, I spoke too soon about the headgaskets! After a couple of base pulls to get the tune right Kurt started the first power hit and we heard a whistle noise. The gasket was pushed out in 6 cylinders. Oh well, that's life. Better we test the limts of the gaskets on the engine dyno instead of at the track. I think we still managed 1560hp or so but I'll let Todd post the sheets up tomorrow.
The copper gaskets with o-rings will be on by the weekend and in the car she goes. All in all I am extremely satisfied the the engine and turbo kit capabilities. Time to learn how to drive this beast!
Thanks again to the crew at W2W (Kurt-Billy-Rich-Heee Haww) for all your help and expertise!

Sounds like Cometic needs to go back to the drawing board with those gaskets. That's two fails in two tries from guys on the board here. We were going to try them but probably not now.
