Default Head Gasket Help and cam/crank bolt question

I'm in the market for head gaskets for my motor. My pistons are 18cc which will yield 9.5:1. I want to stay at this compression so the stock thickness. my block is a 97 GT block bored .20 over with PI heads. Do you guys all recommend Felpro? where would i order these? any help appreciated!

also, I did go with ARP for all the major components (ARP headstuds, ARP mainbolts, ARP 2000 rod bolts) but I am now at the point where I need a crank bolt and cam bolts. Do you guys think i should stick with ARP for these or would OEM bolts be fine?

hey Fred, I was just looking more at the ARP cam bolt link you sent me. Would I have to buy 4 of those? or i noticed it says "kit", does that mean I would just need 2? one for each cam?

Two kits are what ya need!
The more you can use ARP bolts/fasteners, better off you'll be!!
Now get that build rolling!!!!!!!!!!!!!
