I use Felpro. Most shops I have talked to including Coast High say Felpro.

Ask questions if you have'em, anyone who thinks they're too cool, know's it all, or doesn't want to look stupid has more problems than you.

FRPP M-6051-B51 Graphite/steel
Cheaper then the Felpro's & much nicer. They have a thicker compressed height. .041 compared to .035, so compression will drop slightly (~.1).

I think FelPro 8548-PT2 is the same exact gasket as the FRPP graphite except with a smaller price tag. The FelPro 9333-PT1 is also a great gasket.
The 1011-1 and 1011-2 gaskets are crap.

I know there's a Felpro that is the exact same as the FRPP....just don't know the part #.
You're probably right Jeff.

SCE makes a good gasket, their name just isn't out there. They make a head gasket that they claim is run by cars with up to 14:1 compression. Check out their website at www.scegaskets.com
I swear by them. I used to work at Summit and heard negtive feedback about felpro vs SCE. Just my 2 cents. Any other feedback on felpro would be greatly appriciated from other people with mustangs.

I have those FRPP graphite gaskets on my car right now. So far so good.
I have those 1011-2's on my wall as a plaque(all 4 cylinders blown)
