x3 for MLS, even if naturally aspirated. Might cost a few extra bucks, but far superior to 'traditional' gasket materials and construction in their ability to seal at high pressures (boosted) and high rpm (head bolt stretch/cylinder head deflection).

MLS works good, but be aware, they are extremely sensitive to the quality of the finish, cleanliness, and flatness on the heads and deck when you build it.
Graphite composite is much more forgiving, it will conform to anything and seal well. |

A generic "quick and dirty" machine shop mill job is sure to leak. |

It had Mr Gasket MLS gaskets already on it and there has never been an issue with seal. They came with a note telling the required rating of the finish. |
