and I would recommend the 1011-1's
well good luck man, ill miss you tearing ppl up all the time, hahaha.



im going to order the 1011-2's that are like .03 thinner.
im keeping stock heads, and the altitude im at (5500ft at home 5900ft at the track) doesent really help compression any.


thanks for the help guys

I have run both the 1011's and 9333 600+hp easily. The 1011 is a printoseal gasket, the varying thickness is of no concern to you and your applicatin. The 1011 is a better gasket, but either will work flawlessly for you.

spoken by the master himself!


thanks for chiming in, i figured it wouldent really matter.





got the driverside head off, everything looks pretty good, #6cly is looking a 'lil burnt, but fine, head gasket looks prefect, and the driver side is where i was worryed about the head gasket being blown, so im happy to say i should be alright as far as a blown head gasket!


got fustrated trying to get the rear headbolts off the passenger side, freaking headers and EGR/smog tubes in the way, so i gave up for the night.
I have tommarow off, so ill get the head off then, taken em' to the shop to get them cleaned up a bit.
