Wouldn't the closed deck and the Cosworth upgraded Head Gasket help with that?

They may help or extend the life of the headgasket seal, but we have discovered they are not an end-all fix for the 1000+ HP VQ. They are still letting go in that power range.

Since its a gray area you could consider it either/or. 875whp is beyond what some cars have lost headgaskets at already.

Just be aware, it can cost you 20k if a headgasket let's go and a long wait. You may get lucky and have no block damage which means it will be cheaper if you want the same result. It's a crap shoot.
