What would be the best Head Gasket to go with. I have seen some of the Solid Copper ones, and then there is the Ring ones as well..
I am just goin to be NA, no juice, trying to get a nice high compression Engine, atleast 10.6:1.

My engine guy loves the FelPro 1161L & 1161R for 402's. They are MLS gaskets and he says they seal very well. I should have mine tomorrow morning (I hope).

Ask him what he thinks of the 1041's on that chart there, if you don't mind..

+1 for the same gaskets. I'm installing Dart 225's and these are the one's that Dart recommends. A little thick for my liking, but I would rather have a well sealed surface than a little higher compression.

I have a 6.0l (LQ4) truck with 243 heads that are milled .035 running the 1041 Fel Pros. It's running the '05 LS6 cam and sees over 6200 frequently with no issues in over a year's use.

The 1041's are Fel Pro 'old school' performance gaskets. They are composition with a pre-flattened stainless wire ring. This is a tried and proven technology that works great in the correct environment, the new MLS style gaskets will seal better under extreme conditions.

For a N/A application, you should have no issue's with the 1041's.

That's what I figured, I am currently using Felpro #1074's in my LT1, and that is 11:1 compression. I don't use N20, I just like to have a nice stong high-compression V8 with a nice Cam.
