sorry mike. Just had to laugh. Nice takeoff after. You turned everyones heads. 
I would go with the metal. I 've heard that even if they loosen up you can just tighten them up.
By the way, you car sounds freakin awesome. Just get that sway bar back in. And Kris from superior says he'll hook you up for the subframes.

What are you going to go for? Metal or papar? How much do they go for now? Can you just get one or buy two?
Thanks

If you can find them, copper gaskets are the very best. They anneal themselves each time they heat up, so they never get brittle. Snug em up once in a while and they never blow.

I had the Blue Fel Pro gaskets before. The ones in there NOW are the cheapo white gaskets so I'm not surprised they blew out.
I'll go with the copper ones if they can be found. Failing that, the blue Fel pro ones.
Let me know what you find out. I'll call Mopac to see what they have.
