Default Which head gaskets?

Hey guys I'm running stock heads that have been slightly ported and have some tougher springs on them for my cam. I'm also running 6 lbs of boost at the moment, but I blew a head gasket when I swapped to my 10 lb pulley. I don't have the time or money to have my block decked so cometics are out of the question. I'm currently looking at the Fel-Pro FEL-9333PT-1 on Summit. It says that they're made for high performance motors, they'll probably be better than stock. Any suggestions?

9333-pt1 will work fine for your budget constraints now

Hey not too much! I just got finished up with my EMT certification and I'm back to working full time at the shop now for the time being. Work and school has kept me extremely busy. So I'll use those HG's. Does anyone have any good news about these aluminum header gaskets? I need every bit of good sealing with these POS multi-flange MAC headers that I can get and these seem like they would seal pretty good. I'm also going to put studs in and get rid of these original head bolts (puts flame suit on haha). As well as some hardened pushrods and try and get rid of this damn ticking that started after I put the cam in. I've got an adjustable pushrod length measurer so I need to see if the stock ones were the right size or if they were too short or what. I had put in a new set of ford racing lifters so I know that it's not a collapsed lifter. I've got the block torn down to a long block again so I'm trying to take care of a few things while I've got it taken apart...
