WHAT HEAD GASKET???!!!!

I'm running Ross .020 over 8.5:1 pistons/rings/pins, and eagle rods. I am also running arp hardware, as yall know. I am definitely having the head resurfaced and I will scrape down the block with a blade and slapping a straight edge to it to make sure it is perfect; which I assume it will be.

My question to all you is simply what head gasket should I run?
Cometic MLS .(75bucks here cometic mls ) or a
4 layer Ralliart (150bucks here 4 layer oem mls )
or a basic Organic hg for 53bucks JNZ TUNING ....I probably will use copper spray with my final choice.

...and why?

What turbo?

Huge fan of OE composite + ARP's.
 

Could I add anything to help it seal better if I go the cometic route....I didn't have much luck with the organic and arp headstud combo.

Whats the RA of the surface after decking (block and head) ... Thatll tell you what you can run. Youd be supprised how well the OE composite works, when done right.

I would recommend the Mistu MLS gasket. It's sold cheaper than anywhere here: click
This is EXACTLY the same as the OEM Mistu MLS gasket and I am using this on my own personal Talon as well as have installed it on several others. Cometic are finicky about sealing properly and if you're in there it's the perfect opportunity to upgrade from a composite gasket.
 

Amazing price!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
