General Fel-pro tech info: http://www.fme-cat.com/Docs/1425.pdf

Also I found this document VERY interesting and has lots of helpful hints:

Specific Fel-Pro Northstar info: http://www.felpro-only.com/tec_notes/Inside_Sealing-GM_Northstar.pdf

I suppose of those choices I would get the Fel-pro, but just because I have heard of them before and I like the write-up. Victor Reinz apparently made the OEM gaskets.

Didnt you just do a head gasket, what did you use?

Personally, if I were to do this job, I would consider OEM then I would do a survey of rebuilders, speak to the timesert people and speak to Northstar Performance

i used felpro and the back head already blew i month wonderd if i used a brand like cometic it would hold up better also used jakes stud kit

I would wait till you inspect the studs to see if one or more pulled out, this is not likely due to the head gasket itself

Check for cracks in the cylinder walls

I would recommend talking to Jake. He guarantees his for 100,000 miles against head gasket failure. Also states zero failures to date. I would also want to ask his advice, about your current failure. As I am in the process of doing my 99 also I would be very interested in your conversation with them.
