Whats The BEST Head Gaskets???
Whats the best head gasket to use on a 4.030 bore when using Nitrous. On a aluminum or iron block???
We always use ARP bolts or studs depending on the budget of the customer.
I posted this for a customer to see what you guys had to say.
Thanks

You might want to check out the C6 tech section. That would be a better place for your question.
I always used fel pro, but that was with the SBC. I have not worked on an LSx, but the C6 tech section has plenty of folks who have R&R'd heads on an LS2.

Cometic MLS in a variety of thicknesses, to fine-tune your compression ratio and get the best squish or quench for your application.

what size shot are we talking?
for big hits (250+), we run at least .060 bigger than the bore. This gets the lip of the gasket back away from the heat.
