I've really enjoyed my RJC p/p. In fact, I'll never start another Buick without one. Which headgaskets are you considering? If the steel shims, DO NOT SKIP THE FINAL STEP!

+2 on the Power Plate.  I noticed a difference with it.  The guy that is fixing my friend's T-Type (blown head gaskets) and installing some Champion heads on my car does not like the RJC head gaskets, I'll have to ask him why and get back to you.

I went back to stock gaskets...when I bought them, the guy at the GM parts counter told me that there were only about 30 *gaskets* (not sets) left.

I have like 4 sets of stock GM head gaskets sitting in my stash.  I just did an inventory of my parts...I could probably sell them and buy another Turbo Regal given how low the prices on cars has gotten.

Kinda hard to say given how volatile the economy is right now, but I would definitely hang onto those gaskets for a while.
