Default head gasket advice

After 3 months off the road with a blown HD and broken P1 gearbow I have managed to get a new P1 box (thanks to bannysti) the car goes in for HD in a weeks time, it's a built 2.33, what would the advice be for HD?
I will be running no more than 1.4 bar boost and probably nearer 1.3 bar max
will standard Sti gaskets be ok?

Thanks
james

1.3/4, on a 2.33 sound sliek it might spit a p1 box straight out. will depend on what figures it runs though

Had no trouble with the STi MLS head gaskets,but seeing as your running a built 2.33 stroker - most people use a Cometic gasket as they are available in various thicknesses to get the CR right.
ARP Head Studs will also help with your clamping pressure on the head gaskets.
