Fel-Pro should be good enough. I don't know that there is a "performance" head gasket for our motors.

No, not enough compression to warrant a "peformance" gasket

You can have a copper head gasket made specially for any motor. They are expensive though. I had one made for my T-Bird(4 cyl turbo) and it cost me about 189 bucks. It lets me boost 25 p.s.i. steadily with lifting the head. Great for nitrous applications :wink: :wink: :wink:

Felpro is more then enough. If you are still worried about it either use copper gaskets or o-ring the head.

What other gaskets are required when replacing the head gaskets.

I found a kit, but do you really need all the other stuff?

It's recommended but pretty much every engine builder to replace the gaskets you pulled off. They are a one-time-use item; besides, when you rebuild something that is indepth as such a repair... do you really want to do it again just for not putting in a new gasket because your re-used one cracked in the process? I don't.

Has anyone priced having a 3.8 O-ringed? I know it varies shop to shop but I was seriously considering it, because the more I think about it, I may want to run high boost at the dragstrip, and low on the street. (18-20psi strip & 6-12 street.) I would like to build it right once instead of wrong twice.

Kinda! You can use the head gaskets meant for an Iron headed 2.8/3.1 V6 but I don't know how it is long term!
