Default head install question

getting ready to install stage 2 head and want to know what is the best head gasket available on the market? I can get OEM at cost, and just wanted to see if there was anything out there better than OEM. For instance Fel Pro? any input is appreciated, thanks!

The stock head gaskets really aren't that bad. I would only look into upgrading to something else if you plan on running a LARGE shot of nitrous.

BTW, I'm running the stock graphite gaskets on mine.

I'm upping my compression to 10.8 and run a 100 shot of TNT as well. Just want to put the best in one time especially if it's only a few bucks more.

Thanks
