Best header gaskets for my trickflow headed, 390, F1 powered street car??
Since I am running boost is there a better gasket that I should be using? I am thinking no, just get a nice header gasket, but then I think maybe my pipes will be running a bit hotter trying to make 700HP so maybe I should get something better. Then I don't know what size I need... The trickflow heads I have are the Kenny Dewinter heads that they don't sell anymore. I have used some random felpro stuff in the past, and it was OK. Not great. I am running Hooker 2210s.
Should I be looking into deadsoft aluminum? Or just stick with good old paper type gaskets?
Thanks for any advice.
