I having been thinking about doing my headgaskets before its too late. I heard from a friend of mine who is good with these cars and he says the factory seal is great until it blows and says not to touch it till then. But lately I have seen many people on this board blowing them. I plan on running alky and the most boost I plan on running is maybe 21#-22#, I know the HG are usually the first to go. Should I be investing in ARP or a Felpro kit? My car has 68,xxx. Im interested in hearing what you guys think. thanks

Buy an EGT meter or wideband O2 instead.
If you want a gasket set on hand buy some GM ones yours have lasted 70K so far.
If you tune for no KR you won't need them.
22psi. on stock heads ain't much.
Doing headgaskets isn't preventative maintenance unless you test parts by driving to detonation.
Then again some gooroos recommend that.
