Well I had a leaky head gasket that had a runner into one of the water ports. It would bubble all my water out then over heat amnit:

What gaskets do you guys use? I need new head gaskets and since I'm going to use nitrous when I get all these little bugs worked out I was thinking of one of the flat out gaskets thats copper with rubber coating? I'm also getting some arp head studs...over kill right

Other nitrous users including myself will agree that felpro replacements work fine. 10secgoal...when he had his nitrous used them and never blew one. I use them and they work great. Unless your running a extreme high compression engine (like most of the stroker users) with nitrous, I wouldnt worry about it.

My compression is around 10.5:1 and I had the felpros and they leaked but it looked like it may have been just a bad gasket. I'm haveing my heads checked for trueness to make sure they aren't warped today just to be on the safe side. I thought about going back with the felpros, I did on the exhaust and intake but I ended up getting the flat outs. They where 40 bucks more than a set of felpros and I hope they are worth the extra dough! I'm just getting tired of all these bugs lol.
