Why thank you. I tend to think that I know a thing or two about cars, but a car god? You shouldn't have.
I am hearing EXACTLY what you are saying. We have these instock and on sale. I've got this sweet account and can link information from the vendors website for supporting facts. Give credit where credit is due? Why would I do that?

Well Duh. But if you looked at what the customer has for modifications, not your shelf stock, you would realize your recommondation is WRONG. He has intercooler piping and a fmic as modifications. Unless he is trying to make a car that makes more power than most people on this website, he'll be fine. Now if he listed stuff like "I want 600+awhp" then yes a properly configured copper/composite headgasket with the proper surface on the head deck will be a good idea.

Yeah he said best head gasket for 91 tsi. Not best headgasket for my 71mm, built motor, built car. He blew a headgasket on his stockish car, he wants a replacement. Yes he does not want to replace it again, but spending extra money for an item that is not needed is a bit foolish.

1. Conductivity. Copper is the standard by which all other conductors are measured, therefore a copper gasket provides superior thermal conductivity, acting to stabilize head and block temperatures which makes tuning easier.
2. 25% coefficient of elasticity. One of the properties of copper is that it stretches before a catastrophic failure, thereby providing an extra measure of safety in case of severe detonation.
3. Strength. Copper has a tensile strength of approximately 32,000 psi, compare this to the 1,200 to 1800 psi tensile of most facing materials used on conventional performance head gaskets.

You could have just linked it you jackass. Great copy and paste.
The difference between you and me, is that I WRITE the fucking tech articles, you just copy and paste them.
Now back to designing upgraded oil pump gears for the 6g72's and other products for vehicles that NEED it. Forgive me for devoting R&D time into worthwhile products with my "godlike" powers, LMAO.
