Cometic multilayer spring steel w/viton coating. Simply the best.

Good combo, scantool, and proper tuning. Or get out the welder and weld the heads on.

Seriously. Set of stockers work fine unless you plan on running 30lb all day.

Also very expensive, Cometic ~$100 each, steel shim ~$20 each.

The next best for strength that we have found is the steel shim. A shelf full of stockers that were blown, and only a few steels in my collection from various cars over the years. Even if you stack 2 steels, that will bump the compression ratio slightly compared to a stock gasket.
