Default Head Gaskets for a 5.0 liter

Hello everyone! I am new to the 95 mustang world. I have owned a 69 fastback for years and have always liked the 94-95 body style. Not to mention Fuel injection! But anyway, I am currently running a built 306 with a Kenne Bell Supercharger and it seems I blew a head gasket (white smoke coming from exhaust when car warms up to running temp). I haven't pulled the head off yet (drivers side), but I have a feelling I know what I will find. I am running 10lbs of boost and was curious what head gaskets all you fine people might suggest?

Thanks in advance!

Default the good and bad...

Iv'e heard copper or even better for boosted cars get the heads since ya probably have to pull em anyway o ringed for 50 a head or so and the matching fel pro gaskets the setup is good and bad the good gaskets live along time, the bad the pressure will blow hole in piston before gasket gives if not using forged pistons. forged and O ringed the way to go im gonna do that even naturally aspirated for the blue bottle or SC which i will do im sure when bored with the power N/A wise just room to grow brother good luck...

You could try this Fel-Pro High Performance, 1011-2.

You can get them at Checker or Kragens for like $25 bucks a side. They seal better than regular Fel-Pro gaskets, they work well on my n/a 302, but I don't know if they will be enough for forced induction.
