Default head gasket recommendations?

What's the going setup for a forced induction motor? I broke a couple pistons so I am trying to figure out which gaskets to go with-I did a search and it seems mixed between stock, fel pro, and cometic? The stockers a a multi-layer steel design and look to be high quality pieces. Also does anyone hear have any experience with Diamond pistons? I am calling them first thing in the morning.

Sounds like it's a good to look at the whole package I'd look at a new cam while I had the heads off something in the 216-222 duration range with a 116LDA and 8.5-9.0:1 forged pistons.I've heard good things about Cometic head gaskets too.

I am going to use stock head gaskets in my new motor, I think that is what Harlan uses. Mine have seemed to have held up well. Everyone that uses Diamond pistons swears by them.

I'd go with Diamond too. I've hears a few people swear AT Cometic gaskets. But then, I've heard lots of people use them. We used them on the escalade stroker motor. The felpro 1041 gasket would work, but it is thinner and would drop about 2cc volume, which is not what you are looking for. Stock gaskets should work fine too.
