Head Gasket

Hello,
I have a blown head gasket and was wondering what you might recommend for a replacement. Manufacterer/type, etc. I'm running an MP62 s/c @ 6psi now. Plans include an A2A intercooler and possibly up to 8psi. Moss Motors recommended an OEM, but I'm leaning towards a Fel-Pro
Thanks!

I saw no difference in "niceness" between OEM and Fel-Pro. I only went through 4 or 5 HG in a few months when I was doing my rebuild, which was full of fail obviously. I've had them side by side and the MLS OEM vs MLS Fel-Pro was pretty much identical. I saw nothing to indicate the OEM would be any better.

Nope! Though I can see how one can point to that. I agree, 6psi shouldn't bother ir at all! I am positive I didn't over heat it. Apparently a small leak for some time. It popped when I started it after sitting for 2 months.
Found a descent price for a Fel-Pro gasket set *AND* ARP stud kit @ EPmiata.
Thanks for everyone's input!!!
