Head Gaskets
I got a good deal on a set of Mr. Gasket #5751 Solicor head gaskets for my 351. Are these decent gaskets? They are regular gasket material except for a steel ring around each cylinder. I am only running 8.5:1 compression but i plan on installing a supercharger. How would these gaskets hold up to a supercharged engine? Or how about an un-supercharged engine with a 75HP shot of nitrous? Al i better off with steel gaskets?

Head Gaskets
Every tech article I have read has always use head studs, main cap studs, and graphite head gaskets. I know Clevite sells them under the McCord brand name. Same with Fel-Pro. These are your best bet. There are also the "O" ring gaskets you can buy but you will end up machining your heads or block for them.
