Question on aftermarket header gaskets???

[spdfrkaby]

Well I put the supercharger on about a month ago and now for someone unknown reason maybe extra airflow the driverside BBK long-tube header gasket is leaking and the car sounds like crap. I was quoted $550 just in labor to change out the gaskets. I did some research and see that a lot of people us the Ford Racing metal gaskets but the guy here said either carbon or a fiber gasket would work better since there wouldn't be any warping or detoriation of the gasket. I know the Ford Racing gasket runs about $96. Does anyone have any input/knowledge on this carbon/fiber gasket and if so where to purchase it. I want to get the best one since I don't want to go through this again. Way too much trouble and money for a simply gasket.

ford oem will do just fine. pm randy stichcomb (sp, ill learn how to spell it I promise) for a great price.

it costs 550 in labor because its just like installing longtube headers. the kmember is dropped, engine slightly lifted, and then the gaskets come off.

I've used Mr. Gasket Ultraseals with excellent results in the past. I've got a set on my 4.6L now. They're one piece and super easy to instal.

Well since I have to pay a huge amount to change the gaskets, is there anything else I should/could have done in the process?
