Let's talk head gaskets

I'm going to be installing some stage 1 heads on my car shortly and can not decide on which gaskets to go with.Compression will be stock and I plan on installing ARP head studs.(for consistant torque)My mods are in the sig and there is a possibility of running a N2O 100 shot in the future.
Thanks

Re: Let's talk head gaskets

hey Slowbird , we use cometic on the snowmobiles and dirt bikes. Have had great luck there. They turn way over 8000rpm and (almost) never blow a gasket.

Re: Let's talk head gaskets

based on the post scoggin dickey parts made not to long ago, they showed the differences between the old and new style GM LSx head gaskets.

Does cometic make different ones to accomodate, or a one size fits all?
