I agree, unless you will not be machining the block and head surfaces. In which case I would recommend an SCE ICS Titan coppper head gasket which will seal better and has an Internal Combustion Seal for high boost applications. Either way here are some prices ;)

Cometic $79.99
SCE ICS Titan $109.99

Both are in stock! Good luck!

Stock headgasket is fine.

Stock composite headgasket with ARP's FTW. Deffinatley best suited for your application

I have an OEM copper sprayed head gasket, i would recommend it highly, i was running 20psi for a while no problems

I'm going to need a new head gasket pretty soon. I don't plan on running too much boost or anything, but I figure I might as well spend the money and get a cometic which should handle everything I can toss at it.

Evo 3 Metal headgasket from Mitsu, it has pressure seals and it is 4-5 layers of metal. I sprayed mine with the copper spray and boost 25psi just fine. Plus it was only like 70 bucks from mitsu.

+1 for stock copper sprayed with ARP's. Ive made 10+ passes at 30 PSI on mine. I haven't heard mutch good about the newer cometics since they dont offer there HP version anymore.

I agree that for most applications the OEM with ARP's will definitely do the trick, but he asked for the "best" lol. Also, we have about 5 HP versions in stock if you are interested ;)
