Default Head gaskets

I blew the left side head gasket yesterday during a grudge run. I was considering going with a set of copper head gaskets, or should I stick with FEL-PRO's top of the line?

W/ your combo, you'll be fine w/ the FelPro graphite set. don't spend a lot on something you don't need.

copper is not real good on the street a lot of the times they leak.I just started using the Fel-Pro 1133 the MLS they seem to work great so far and are the best of the best so they say. But I have heard people say they have had leak problems with them also but I have not had any yet.but unless you are gone to run boost or spray they are a little overkill
