There really isn't any need to change out your head gaskets with that T trim of yours. You're not going to be running a high enough boost to worry about it. For an all out race gasket you could go to a Flatout Saberseal MLS head gasket. Notnecessary for your application.

The same for your head bolts. It would take a whole heck of a lot more boost than what you have to worry about it. Yes, ARP head bolt studs are superior to the factory but here again, I wouldn't worry about it.

Then again, I'm assume you're running 14psi or less.
