I had my engine built last year and run a set of Champion iron heads and Tom suggested your ICS Titan head gaskets.  When I did my research I came to the same conclusion.  I did not want to o-ring my block unless I had to.  I run the car at a local 1/8 mile drag strip.  With my new engine, turbo, transmission, converter and electronics I can run a very streetable tune to a pretty aggressive race tune.  My goal is to be full weight running mid 10’s in the ¼ and remain streetable with AC and cruise, etc. At 23 lbs boost I currently turn 7.15 @ 97mph in the 1/8, with slicks and a little more boost I should achieve my goal of 6.80’s in the 1/8.  

I am a member of the Turbo Buick website and have suggested the ICS Titan gaskets whenever asked about my set up. SCE makes great products and I use them in both my Grand National and Blown Pro-Street Nova SS.
