Cometic copper gasket... PE Tuning can also get you one I think.
Maybe you should buy a six pack, seeing how often you blow one up :D

Perhaps its not a problem with your gasket. There are many people that run a factory gasket and very high boost.
Following should be considered:
a) How much boost are you running on pump gas and are you still running the T25? Perhaps you are detonating enought to blow the gasket.
B ) Have you checked the surfaces of the block and head for damage. When a head gasked blows, surface damage such a pitting may occur in the area where the gasket leaked.
c) Was the block and head checked for straightness?
d) Are you using proper torques on the head studs? Are you running aftermarked studs such as ARP?
There are a few other things that may couse this gasket to fail, but above are most common. One more thing, if you choose to go with the metal gasket, make sure that the surface finish is correct for that particual gasket. Metal gaskets typically require much smoother finish than standard composite gaskets. This is something for you to look into.
Food for thought |

I would second Mitsuman's advice, there is a reason the gasket only lasted 1 month. I don't think Fel-Pro's quality is that low.
I do indeed sell Cometic gaskets. |

OK then!!!
Be more care full. Better head gasket may not fail as easily however may lead to more catastrophic failure to you motor. |
