I have ordered all internals for my shortblock now I need some input on what gaskets to replace and what brand to get. Ive heard cometic is a good head gasket but do I need to replace all the gaskets and also what studs should I use to keep from blowing gaskets considering im running boost and juice..

 

Your only concern should be headgaskets. Use factory gaskets for everything else. All you should need is: oil pan gasket, filter head gasket, intake gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets, valve cover gaskets. The factory gaskets are pretty decent.

 

i bought fel-pro gaskets for my 5.4, but its not under pressure or N20. and the intakemanifold gaskets and oil pan gasket are also reusable, but i would get new ones, i did.

 

just use felpro

 

i would go with cometic head gaskets and use felpro for everything else.
