Just stick with stock... OEM #1!

Edit: But make sure you get some new head studs(ARP or AEBS

)

I'm using a Cometic .043 Thick headgasket.

Cometic is a non-crush style gasket, so the chances of having to re-torque the head are less... Also, while you're at it, get ARP studs if you don't already have them

OEM is all you need.

I ran one flawlessly on my 20psi 430whp set-up and I will be using the same on my next 550ish whp set-up as well.
