Default Which headgasket are you guys using on boost motor?

I was told to use 92 to 95 headgasket on d16a6 motor. Is that what everyone is using here? I am planning to boost around 18 to 20 psi on build motor. I have ARP head bolts too.

Can't beat that.

Either use a D16Z6 or D16Y8 hg, and ARP headstuds. I am only running a 50 shot of nitrous and threw a cometic and arp's on just in case.

theystill make the paper one. they did last year at least. went and got one, and it was paper, so i didnt buy it.

92-00 are all supposedly identical (thread somewhere about it), but the 96-00 's are 1/2 the price.
