Default Which head gasket for a blower?

I was told that I can reuse all of my gaskets except the head gaskets, so I am going to make sure I get the right ones. The Ford Racing head changing kit comes with stock gaskets, but not sure if I need different gaskets for a blown car.

It would make sense to just do FEL PRO gaskets seeing as I don't need any of the other crap in the head changing kit. The oil pan gasket I can probably get at the local parts store.

My motor is being bored .020, so what bore would I need for the gaskets? (I don't know what the stock bore is)

Oh yea, and the Fel Pro gaskets don't have the cutout on the driverside for the one cooling port...interesting.

EDIT: Actually the one set does, the other doesn't

I use the fel pro performance gaskets. Don't just get the regular ones or the ford racing ones. They won't stand up to high boost. Just get the stock bore ones part number fpp-1141L and fpp-1141R.

So it Doesn't matter the motor will be bored .020 over? Remember that coolant passage you said I needed drilled, the Fel Pro performance gaskets don't have a hole cut out for it like their standard ones do..don't I need it?
