according to my studius coworker either of the top two choices are pristene over the lower two, so pick the one that will suit 500hp.

From your wording it sounds like you're saying the top 2 are better, but from the word pristine's meaning, that would mean they are worse.

id get the last one.

the first two clearly say "OEM stock replacement Fel-Pro head gaskets are ideal for stock rebuilds for street-driven cars and trucks."

its stock, so it sux, and i doubt your rebuilding your car to be stock so neither the first two sound any good.

FPP-1011-2 is a decent one. this is the gasket that afr recommends when buying their heads so you know its good. its the one i used to have when i was n/a but when i got my sc i didnt have the fuel system to handle the power yet, when lean and blew the head gasket.

talked to afr again and they said for boosted motors FPP-1011-1 is ideal. ive been running that gasket for a while now. 461rwhp and its holding fine. i also use head studs tho which clamp the head down better then a head bolt. head studs about $80 for a set
