I have Cometic gaskets on my car now - well I ended up having to replace all the pistons (from forged Manley's to Mahle's) - so I had one cylinder head bolted on with Cometic gasket - now I am in need of another one, and the main problem is this: Cometic is behind about 3-4 WEEKS with orders and my car has been MIA since the middle of MAY. So obviously I'm frustrated, however Summit Racing has Fel-Pro head gaskets in stock and ready to go - the cost for 2 Fel-Pro gaskets is less than the cost for one Cometic - so I am wondering about the quality of the Fel-Pro gaskets. I will be spinning a 16# pulley so it's gotta be able to handle a considerable amount of boost. Anyone have experience with them?

No experience on a boosted application, but I've always had good results with Felpro on N/A apps. Bump for ya.

Good luck.

I take it these are the same thickness? I have installed FelPro on a few 350s and havent ran into any problems.

all were n/a applications though

Yes they are all the same thickness (.040") - luckily Livernois Motorsports had another Cometic gasket in stock so I'm all set. Thanks for the responses though

Engine Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
