Default Thoughts on this gasket kit?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toyota-Supra...ht_4108wt_1002

wanting to know if I should pick this up. I'm going to need all new gaskets for my engine. This seemed pretty cheap, but I just want to be safe running up to 600hp. I don't want to buy a head gasket that's just going to blow out on me.

That HG will not work with a boosted application over 250whp. You MUST have a Supra TT HG or something of the equivalent.

I figured as much. I was trying to figure out if the "kit" was worth it for all the other gaskets and valve seals. Then buy a OEM GTE head gasket.

So, the OEM Gte gasket is the one I should get? Or is there a better aftermarket one?

that kit should be fine minus the HG, as recommended before get the TT OEM one. Don't forget to get ARP head studs as well, especially if you plan on pushing 600 hp. Better to be safe than sorry
