Default Need some help choosing a headgasket for my ERL B18 GSR block.

Ok guys need some help choosing the right gasket.
Which head gasket should i buy, don't want the head gasket to be the weak link here. Aiming for around 600 to 650 whp

ERL built GSR block:

- 84mm cp pistons(coated)
- Pauter X-beam rods
- micro-polished crank
- ERL 5 main girdle

The head i will be using is a full ported en polished GSR head with full crower valvetrain and 1 mm oversized valves.

I would first find out how thick you need the gasket to be, because that may limit some of your options.

As far as I know ERL suggests Cometics to use.
ERL sleeves theire blocks as stepdeck and found Cometic to work best.
