Put it back together with fel pro 9333pt-1 / fel pro 8548pt-2 / or fms M-6051-B51. The 1011 head gaskets WILL NOT stand any kind of head movement or detonation. People are running the 9333 in 8sec forced induction cars on 30psi

imo i would want the head gaskets to give with detonation, its cheaper than other parts that would give if the gasket wont...

Those permatorques (1011) are known to be nothing but problems in FI cars. I would run some graphites like I said before and you should have no problems for around the same money. Cometics take a different RA on the block and heads then standard head gaskets so they must be thought of early in the build.

i wasnt saying that, i was saying if you detonate id rather pop a head gasket than a piston, therefore i wouldnt want a "solid" headgasket
