Head Gasket recomendation for S/R Torquer 305 Heads?
Should I just get some stock GM replacement head gaskets or should I look into some more expensive steel or copper ones from fel-pro or Mr. Gasket? The compression ratio will remain the same since the chambers are 58cc, however, that is if I use the stock thickness. If I go with a thinner gasket with I have tuning problems due to the slight increase in compression?

World says to use a 350 casket, even on a 305. Tech builten
Head Gaskets: Fel Pro 7733PT-2 or Fel Pro 1003. If steam holes are needed for 400 engines, use a 1014 gasket. Note: Because of the redesigned combustion chamber IT IS NECESSARY to use a 350 head gasket on bores smaller than 4.00.

I thought about using a thinner head gasket but wasn't sure how much harder it would be to tune for that.
