Which head gaskets do you guys prefer for high performance engines?

Id like to get a thinner head gasket to increase my compression since the heads Im having redone are 76cc.

Ive seen copper, metal, and the Fel Pro ones.


Suggestions anyone?

with 5 bolts around each cylinder small block chevys are one of the easiest engines to seal, so use a steel shim gasket the factory used them for years in the sixties and seventies. I personally like the new graphite based gaskets but they are a mess to clean up when you pull a head.
