I am running 17lbs of boost with a 348 dart stroker motor. I have every upgrade know to man on this thing. I am getting ready to reassemble the top end and want to feel you guys out on what head gasket you think I should run. I was running mls fel pro.

 

I hear a lot of good things about Cometic Head Gaskets.
They have copper and Multi-Layered Steel. I know
Grand National Guys running 23+psi on them.

 

Normally I would say Fel-Pro gaskets are great and should be enough. But if you're oging to be pushing that much boost and you want to be certain it will hold, then go for the Cometic gaskets. But I am warning you, they are expensive... like $80+

 

Yeah, my tuner told me to use cometic. I blew a fel pro but my boost retard died on me. I think I will give cometic a call monday and see what they recommend.

 

I am pulling the short block and having it o-ringed, along with the heads. I told my engine builder I want to run 25-28lbs of boost for next year. I am changing my crank pulley and putting in 96lb injectors and going to pour the coals to it.

 

OOOOHHH!!! YYEEAAHHH!!!!
Sounds like you're gonna kick some a$$.

 

I am running 10.30@135 now. I am having the tremec proshifted, full race port on the heads, downs intake full race port, 2' primary to 3 1/2' collector kooks, direct port 150 shot, and alot of suspension work done. Heres the last setup I ran.

cometics seep coolant if the block and head arent prepped right.

 

He doesnt have to worry about that
because he said he's o-ringing the block and heads.
Based on that, the mating surfaces will be all good.
I'm sure he has a reputable machinist doing the work.

 

I have tk racing which is on the southside of chicago doing the work. They are a quailty race engine shop, they built my original setup.
