I am looking at getting the gasket and reusable bolts from
tbyrne motorsports.com. They offer their set at $299 with the gasket, and the bolts.

Tired of blowing stock head gaskets? If so, these gaskets and bolts are what you need to keep your heads from lifting. The head bolts have a 185,000psi tensile strength and include ARP hardened washers They can be bolted-in with no modifications required and will deliver superior strength over the stock bolts. They can can also be reused without a problem unlike the stock bolts. The head gaskets are a Custom tri-metal product suitable for normally aspirated and boost applications. They are available in various thicknesses and bore configurations. They are much stronger than stock and less likely to blow out.
