I need some help on what head gaskets to buy. I bought good Fel-pro gaskets and haven't had any problems at all until last night at the track. I blew a head gasket and also blew a seam in my radiator.
My setup is a stock short block with 'P' heads that have 58cc combustion chambers (stock), B-303 cam, 1,72 rockers, Explorer intake, 36lbs. injectors, Aeromotive Adj. regulator, 255 intank pump, and a P600B w/ intercooler making 8-10 lbs. of boost .
The timing was at 10 degrees and the FMU was turned all the way in (rich), and fuel pressure was at 40lbs.
I've ran the hell out of this car on the street and haven't had any problems. The problem occured when I missed 4th gear. My buddy noticed little puffs of white smoke on each shift before it happened.
It was the first time down the track with this setup and I so excited that I wasn't watching the fuel pressure gauge. It went 1.72 60ft. w/ 26inch slicks lauching at 4500 and it went 7.80 in the 1/8th. What can you guys recommend for better gaskets?
Is my compression maybe too high with these heads?
