If your deck and head is flat (within .002") then there is no reason a Felpro 8993 (stock replacement) gasket won't do the job. This is what I run in my SVO and people have made over 500rwhp with them.
If your deck isn't flat (mine wasn't before I machined it), no headgasket will hold.
This is all assuming you're applying proper torque to the headbolts.

I'd save the extra $50 it will cost you and just get an 8993 and fix the tune instead. With a flat deck and proper headbolt torque, the only things that will blow a headgasket is going lean or having too much timing.
