damn I'm surprised to see that much on the stock 18g's and also surprised that you're still running a stock headgasket. any reason for running the stock headgasket?
With a normal gear, I hit about 155ish in 5th gear.
So that pull was in 4th gear??? Thats a HUGE difference
6600rpm redline and stock FD 5th goes to 142mph. He revs this thing out to 8200rpm's and has a 3.3FD so he can hit MUCh higher speeds in every gear than say a 3.5FD 7200rpm set-up, prolly something like what you run.

The stock head gaskets are fine. Detonation is what you will see lifting heads and destroying headgaskets. Just make sure your tuning is good and you'll be fine.
