ordered cometics today. talked to Bob@FBO about using different size head gasket per side and he tells me he has done that very same thing 20+ times on engines he has built over the yrs. didn't think it was an issue. so I ordered .030 and .036 gaskets. we are only talking .006" difference per side. $155/pair til first on yr.
I've done it before, but we did before and after dyno pulls. We found a big fat zero. We did put the big chambers on the #2 side. I was actually thinking of swapping the heads from side to side to dyno but said screw it. IIRC it was about 650 HP and it was a Dorf (Ford spelled kinda backwards...like drof but I like Dorf better).
FWIW I enjoy picking the pepper out of the fly poop as long as I'm not paying for it.
