these work good on the netter, volvo and they can be a pain to get to seal. expensive, 75 bucks each, but very good. COMETIC GASKETS - Head Gaskets - Race Engineering, Inc

seriously, something isn't right be it surface, torque (no not me...well, I'm not quite right either) gasket used
done correctly a head gasket should last (all things being in good repair)

the gaskets we on two seperate motors. the first was on a stock motor that over heated pretty bad. this motor was done by a shop. im not sure y it blew if it even blew. idk im no mechanic. it keeps over heating even though all components of the cooling system r workin its spitting out black stuff outta driver side exhaust and when i give it some gas it sputter and spits out nasty stuff. but the oil looks fine i didnt pull the plugs and the one time i ran it with the radiator cap off was when i flushing the radiator so idk if it was steam cuz it was starting to over heat or if it was exhaust. but the exhaust comin outta both pipes seemed to b pretty good. but its in the shop now i dont have the time to deal with it anymore.

I don't recall your build so please provide the abridged version
did you get a pdf of the sheet to post?

Without any porting and cam to match, and i think you are auto tranny you really aren't doing badly. You are about 100FWHP over stock. Does your tuner think there might be 10HP more?
basically you are looking at bolt ons and a cam and getting 100 fwhp more than stock, not bad.

i bought the motor already done. it was rebuilt and bored to a 355 with forged eagle crank, and eagle rods and pistons. the heads werent p/p. jus something to the valves and maybe something else. but they not p/p. so yeah i guess jus bolt ons and a cam. i thought the camaros came with about 300hp stock. it sure feels like more than 325. my tuner said its good.
