Just curious...

Actually, it has little to do with which head gasket you are using. It really matters on the tune, timing and AFR to be exact.

damn, Luis if you keep asking questions like that I am going to ask for a permanent ban on you. Has nothing to do with the HG, and wide fire over stock has little or no benefits at all unless you have a o-ringed head. How much boost you can run is dependan of factors like , turbo, injectors, a/f mix , timming. Special tool ran 35psi with the stock head gasket.

Wow - that's a good answer from the carnesero.
I agree.

ROFL! Well done!

Exactly. You can reuse the viton coated MLS gasket. The widefire is organic material that you really can't get away with reusing.

As said, it's not a HG problem if it blows, it's bad tuning. I have also ran over 35psi on my widefire I installed 6 or years ago. I has been abused, ran hard, on extended boost times and still holds. There was nothing originally wrong with my stock gasket but after my headwork I decided on a widefire since it was supposedly a little stronger.

I will say this, if anyone is having problems with headgaskets DO NOT install a MLS. You will regret it when your pistons see sunlight out the side of the block.

ahhh yes, one of my favorite questions.

Also in the top 5:
How much wood could a wood chuck chuck, if a wood chuck could chuck wood?

Seriously, I think the number of positive posts would have been greater had you simply made a thread stating only, "I don't get it".
Try the search function. Head gasket problems are plentiful.

I'm running a stock DME so my timing is what the DME dictates I should have replace the head studs with ARPs when the motor was built shoulda coulda didnt.

Head studs, and your tune.

Block failure not head gasket.
