What Headgasket to get?

Hey, I am going to be installing my TTrix 50trim kit in a week or two. while im doing that I am doind ARP head studs and HKS 264/272s. so since the head is coming off what should I do for a HG? Is another OEM gasket ok for what ill be running or should I plan on something else?

thanks ahead

I'd say stick with the OEM mitsu HG, but if your a baller you can always opt for the HKS gasket.

well what is the OEM good till? I am going to add meth to my car this summer too and I am staying on the stock springs and retainers along with stock block.

I just ordered a HKS T belt , HKS cam gears and was tempted on getting the HKS HG but I dont want to through the money away if the OEM gasket is going to work for what I need and maybe more if I ever go with a bigger turbo

stock head gasket is fine. I'll be running it on my 600+ car this year. I ran it to 533 on pump/meth 30 psi with 0 problems.
