What head gaskets for Fast Burn Aluminum Heads.
My Ram Jet 350 crate motor came with some cheap looking head gaskets and I dont want to use them with the fastburn heads.
Anyone have any recommendations? I was thinking of useing some thin copper ones. Am I on the right track here?

I'd recommend FelPro gaskets. They're the best.

No. Do not use the copper ones.
Use Fel-Pro 1003.

They do not deal very gracefully with repeated heat-up and cool-down cycles. They are for racing, not the street.
