head gasket
 
what is the best one to use on a nitrous motor?? I looked at the copper ones but I was wanting a all out nitrous head gasket. Was wondering if anyone has used the multilayered head gasket? Thanks Steven

This last time I put on felpro mls and haven't blown them yet. They get my vote!!!

From my experience the mls cometics will hold but should be on an engine that has had deck machined and head surfaced. Personally I would rather a gasket blow under a detonation to releive pressure off the piston and rod unless u are good enough tuner to never have a detonation issue or check your bearings when it does . Most guys that use mls check or freshen there engines on a religious basis especially if it detonates. Me personally I will be running rol on my bb with nos. Just my .02 worth

+1. Both decks must be nearly perfect

my heads are going to the machine shop in the morning to get some work done. My block was decked when I carried it to the shop. I was wondering what would be the best head gasket to run on my car spraying as much as I am planning on spraying it.

I am sorry alot of people on here know my set up. It's a 393 Windsor with a custom nitrous cam( thanks to Edgar) . It's a low compression motor 8.5 to 1 with some small vic jr heads and am spraying it 250 -300. Hope this helps

the 1011 have held up well for me to but the 1011 2 are copper ring and recommended for alum heads the 1011 1 are steel ringed and I have seen them cut uneven grooves in alum heads.majority of my experience with felpro was on a 14 compression cleveland so one of the windsor guys would be of more help.
