Headgaskets and Nitrous

[Redline240]

Anyone know the breaking point of the stock head gasket when spraying? I hope to eventually be spraying 200+ shot and i wondering if i'll need a metal headgasket, if so who sells them for the KA?

stock headgasket is capable of taking 300+ hp of nitrous.

Didn't you mention in a post once that you were blowing head gaskets on your old setup?

yes, my car blew headgaskets on the old setup.But it was because I was running 7+ bottles of nitrous through it a week, and not changing the plugs as regularly as I should have for that kind of nitrous use.

With the proper fuel system and ignition upgrades a stock headgasket blows under 375hp of nitrous on an otherwise stock KA.
