    for what?? if for a 5.0, i like the felpro 1011-2, or if you gonna go big, i use the cometic, i have found that the bang for the buck is the good ol mrgasket graphite set..

    I'd say its going to depend on what you're doing....personally i'd see no point in buying a set of $150 head gaskets if you're going to have a 350hp street car.... however if you're going to boost it and run the shit outta it, then get some good MLS gaskets...

    these are the best.I wouldn't use 1011-1's or 2's if you gave them to me and cometics ae overkill.If you are blowing 9333's you have issues and a cometic gasket is only going to fix it till you burn up pistons cause you will burn holes in pistons before you blow a cometic

    I have also used the 8548pt2's on my stock 302 shortblock and hci spraying a 175 rwhp NX wet kit and split the block and never blowed them
    88 GT...and some boost

    I really like the 9333's I have used them in a quite a few boosted 302's with no issues and in nitrous engines with no problems either. The 8548 is a good gasket also.
