When I rebuild my DE I'm going to have a copper head gasket stamped out. Copper holds a ton of boost and is reusable, not to mention can be oringed if you ever decide to make more then say...600whp. Another upside to getting a head gasket custom stamped is it allows me to choose the thickness of the material. By doing so I can lower my compression ratio to something more boost friendly. For those of us that want to run 20 or more PSI, that's a good thing.

Anyway, would you guys be interested if I could get a group rate on this? Bare in mind that I'll have to talk this over with Greg and the Company itself to come up with GB terms and I'm personally not rebuilding till the summer...so it will be some time before I even start the ordering process. The price will be cheaper then the Cometic style I'm fairly certain of that.

I know little to nothing about the pricing of such a headgasket. Are we looking at under 100 dollars or what?

I think they are 90 or under. You have to email them to get a quote for some gay reason.
