What rental car would be best to practice Head Porting on ?

I was renting a car this past week and was thinking this could use more power.
I just got MAC headers and wasnt sure if manifold gaskets came with it, so I nabbed the stock GM ones. The MAC's came with gaskets and they are a different style, Now I am wondering wich is better. Anyone have any idea ?

wtf?
if your asking about header gaskets fel pro 1406 is the most widely used here.

btw: it would be alot of work to port the heads on a rental car to get more power why not just put a N20 kit on it and remove it b4 returning it??? that would be cool
LOL

I think your EX-Mother-in-law's car would be a nice "practice" port and polish guinea pig experiment. This title made me LOL.

too much work, just throw a 200 shot on the rental taurus...it will fly, maybe just for second, but it will fly APART






maybe this should be moved to the lounge now?
