Default Head gasket on a gsr: what do you guys run?
Im pushin about 18-20 psi on pump right now on a built gsr. Recently blew my cometic, and was debating on if it was worth it to go with another cometic, or just run a felpro. I wont be running more than 25psi on race gas so what do you guys reccomend?

any engine i have built, if it was a standard bore, got an o.e. head gasket. anything else got a cometic.

me personally i would avoid the felpro gasket. but thats just me.

Use OEM or Cometic. Don't waste your money on felpro gaskets..

How much boost will an oem hold up to though? I thought with a 20 over an oem wouldnt work. seems someone told me that at some point.

I run the GE which is an oem bored to whatever size is needed. I was going to run a cometic but since my block is step decked I decided that I didn't need to.
