choosing a good Head Gasket

Hi
I need a Head Gasket for my Jeep 4.6 Supercharger. I am thinking of Felpro Q530SD.

It is a good choice?
What is the compressed thickness?

Pretty sure its .052" compressed. I chose this same gasket for my new race engine for that reason. (my piston is .013" out of the hole.) If thickness and overall compression is not your main concern, and durability is, its hard to beat the multi-layered steel victor.

X2 on the victor. However when you go with a MLS hg TELL YOUR MACHINE SHOP. They surface the deck and head differently (smoother iirc) to get the right seal.

OK, then Victor unanimously.
Thanks.
