Default Head gasket type??
Hello :

Can someone recomend a good sealing head gasket for a stroked 427 LS1? Im running a supercharger plus 250shot nitrous everything was holding great but I killed the gasket due to a faulty nitrous selonoid , Im was using GM performance , but I want to lower compression a bit more so what u guys think of the SCE Titan copper gaskets in a .062'' thicknes?

thankyou
Gil
