Default WRC Head Gasket??

Folks, is one required for a T34.48 running around 32-33psi peak?? or is it over-kill??

And will a Group A do the job fine??

Thanks Pete..

Im running a WRC in my motor only becuse i had the motor in bits for a full rebild and when fitting a WRC gaskit your spost to have the head and block flashed over which is a lot more work and ££££ . my mate REX is running T34 .63 rear 30psi 409BHP and he is only running a Group A Gaskit . So its up to you Pete

Have done yours them mate

Cheers for that reply Ian, i just thought if i opted for the WRC it'd be a case of fit & forget, but as said, i know it costs ALOT more to do this.

I'm going back onto a T34 mate, T3 is i have with the Gunship is great, but it just needs some more top-end..

I'll go with the .48 housing aswell, Karl's doing the mapping etc and i loved this on my last 3dr...

Got myself a lovely mint Level 8 ecu and some 72lb Siemens which i've had a while s all good.

Should see a nice healthy 350-360 fingers crossed..

So much for me keeping it standard a mate??

Overkill at that spec pete,although if your block and head have been done then it'd be rude not to.
