I dont know about HP numbers Im sure the sky is the limit for the cometic, but the stock composite gasket can with stand 20psi as long as you have ARP's holding the head down. To run the metal headgaskets you have to have a flat head and deck for it to seal correctly. Fasteners are key, with a good set you can crack a head before the gsket goes.

It has nothing to do with hp and everything to do with detonation.
I ran 30+ psi making 600+ hp on a factory composite gasket.

Gotta love the factory head bolts, I re-used mine 7 times before I bought ARP's

EVO's came with a mls from the factory.
DSM's came with a cometic from the factory.
