Another question, are your brakes supposed to suck after FI because there's is no vacuum or whatever? They may just have to re-bled. I'll be getting back to the head gasket after the weekend.
as far as the head gasket issue, you really cant get away with stock gaskets and a turbo. I had a great tune, and blew 3 sets in a row, then switched to mls, and drove it for a year, still have the same gaskets with nitrous and never had an issue. In MY case, the "paper" gaskets just couldent hold the cyl pressures

Also, I would like to point out that those little check valves on the brake booster, don't hold back boosted pressure too well. Usually the boost blows right through that little plastic check valve.

Update:
Finally got some more ambition and pulled the heads. Sprayed some wd-40 in the cylinders because they start getting surface rust fast. All in all it doesn't look bad. The cross-hatching is still visible but I'm not too sure how bad motors get lol. Tomorrow I will probably drop off the heads to get looked at and cleaned up, then clean up all the gasket surfaces real nice. One question though, is coolant supposed to come out of the lower head bolts? It did it on all of them I think.
On a side note, I dropped off the carb from the trans-am today so I should get it back tomorrow or wednesday and then get some noise out of that thing.
