GM or Cometic Gaskets
GM or Cometic Gaskets In the next few weeks I will be installing a Stage 2 H/C setupon my car and need to know what gaskets to use.
Im looking for about 410 RWHP and want to also add a wet 100-150 shot.
I will be using ARP head studs.
I have heard that the GM ones hold up well, but i have also heard good things about the Cometics.
If i go GM what part # to use??
Thanks
Josh

Re: GM or Cometic Gaskets IMHO, I'd stick with the GM gaskets for your application. The Cometic gaskets are great if you have a larger bore size, or need a gasket with a different compressed thickness.
The Cometic gaskets are fairly expensive compared to a stock GM gasket, and I've seen lots of folks have sealing problems with them.
