ive had 2 stage 3 saphs in the past both had group a gasket and standard bolts which i think is suficient for up to 350 bhp. as for clutch my first saph was standard clutch and didnt last long not many drifts in second gear mate. paddle clutch defo in my opinion.

Late escort gasket is better and cheaper

group A gasket (would have used late escort one but couldnt get one at short notice as everyone prefers to stock group a cause it makes them more profit!)
ARP head studs (NOT long studded, bad idea according to lots of people but works just fine for me)
AP 6 Paddle clutch (little bit grabby but bearable, and easily takes the power)

standard headgasket
standard bolts

6 paddle clutch

It depends where you have it set up.

If you go to Engine Advantages, I wouldn't bother with a head gasket. Just weld the head to the block. She'll take 3 bar of boost all day long, and will fly like Pete Doherty on coke.

And with the money you'll save from the headbolts and gasket, put that towards a nice paddle clutch?
