I finally blew a head gasket after my car overheated go figure. Well since im not planning with staying with my 302 motor for longer than this year im unsure on which one head gasket to go with. My motor is stock with possibly the addition of a intake and some nitrous this year. I'm wondering if with the nitrous i should just step up to the MLS gaskets or if i can get away with something else also should i step up to ARP head bolts if anyone has part numbers it will be greately appreciated.

Felpro 9333-PT1. Don't run serious head gaskets unless you have a real combo and NEED them. Think of the head gaskets as a fuse. If something goes wrong with the nitrous do you want to be more likely to burn up pistons or a head gasket?

Thanks guys i never like to do anything the cheap way cause changing head gaskets with my school schedule sucks already just cant see spending $150.00 on head gaskets if im not going to need them.

Engine Suggestions on an engine rebuild. Stock cam/GT40Ps or aftermarket on both for a fun weekend driver?
