Hi John, a stock Elring head gasket does better than most would think but with over 22 psi you'll need a properly done copper gasket with a .040" stainless o-ring. The trick is to only have the o-ring protrude above the deck around .008" so the gasket will still seal around the water passages. Also a set of aircraft quality studs with keep the head from lifting at those kinds of boost levels. Hope to see you at the SOC in September! Dave
