Default im pulling my heads, should i switch to the big *** cometic gaskets? (.071)

i have to pull the heads to replace my clicking lifters

should i replace the 6.0l GM MLS gasket with a cometic .071?

will the loss in compression be worth it?
ive have heard of them blowing but just as much as ive heard of every other gasket blowing

Kind of a waste when he is only going to run 6 psi of boost.

I like the Cometic gaskets no problems here so far.

Here you go I will let you borrow one of my slips from 2005. If you tell "Gator 99 TA" that its yours he might put the "10 second club" under your name like the rest of us have. LOL

I am just going to up the shot for you so you can keep chasing my slips. LMAO

Sorry for jacking your thread up. We are all friends screwing off but you will be fine with either gasket Cometic or the factory ones.

I would be willing to agree with you I will have a 9 second car before you do. Heck I am only 8 tenths away you still got to get out of those 11's young man you are almost there I know you can do it. LOL
I wonder what my car would do if I took out the 100 shot pills and went bigger.

This is all in fun for the people that don't know us we are friends call me tomorrow.

I use GM MLS Gaskets and going with a thicker gasket is the WRONG way to lower compression.....

I would agree. You would also have to buy new pushrods to compensate for those thicker gaskets.
