Anyone who works around performance parts a lot has most likely heard of them. Very expensive gaskets, but great quality. I haven't used them but may buy some for my upcoming H/C/I swap. They are awesome for forced Induction, but like I said, they are pricey.

im familiar with them, they're expensive like $75 a piece. on the other hand they're virtually unblowable. so if your gonna spend that much on them i hope you have a heavily boosted car, because otherwise you might as well go with regular ones.

sweet, well here is the bad news i blew a hg on my gt. my mr gasket ultra seals and bad tune did not hold them, so now i need to pull the heads off and put some new gaskets on and put it back togeather. one thing is the hg has been blown for awhile and i did not know it, it will push water out of the coolant system if you run boost. it has done that ever since i put the blower on, so we will see how it runs on all 8 after i get it put back togeather.
