Default Head Gasket?

Which head gasket is everyone running for a forced induction application? I am thinking about running the SCE Titan ICS gasket, but when I talked with them they say that you need to retorque their head gasket. I have had good luck with Cometics and the Fel-Pro 1041 head gasket in a normally aspirated application.

I forgot to mention that I have AFR 225 heads which have a 4.10 bore chamber so I would need at least a 4.130 bore gasket. I do have the ARP studs.

I would like to hear from the people that have run the SCE Titan ICS gasket.

Those were the very first set I blew on the dyno.

Can someone please explain to me what GM MLS gaskets have a 4.125 bore or larger? Maybe the LS7 gaskets?

I could be wrong but I don't think the bore on the LS2 gaskets will work on a AFR 225 without shrowding the valves.
