Basically, I want to go fast for cheap.

Is anyone running squeeze on forged TRW's? (speed-pro)

I'm building a 400 to take a good size hit (200hp?) of the juice.. my Machinist told me he wasn't sure if the TRW forged pistons would stand up to the abuse of nitrous use. (he'd like me to spend more money) I've read they are capable of withstanding nitrous use.

Here's the specs on my planned combo:
'77 2 bolt main 400 .30 over
TRW forged pistons (pressed wrist pin)
Childs & Albert rings
factory rods/ crank fully prepped, balanced
ARP main studs, rod bolts, head bolts
Clevite 77 bearings
67 gto 670 heads, stock, non-ported
melling high pressure oil pump
homemade crank scraper
Summit racing 224/234 .465/.488 cam
Torker I intake
750 holley
200hp NOS plate system
Dynomax headers

what's a good head gasket to use for nitrous?
