If your truck is modified to make more power then you are probably "lifting" the head,combustion and boost levels get higher as you increase power.
The way to fix that is to get the head "O-ringed" where a machine shop cuts a ring in the head,or block and a metal ring is installed to keep combustion pressures from blowing the gasket and/or install a head stud kit,this will keep the head down tighter,and the head studs don't stretch as much as the stock bolts.(I'd just do that if you have the money) head studs are running around the $425 range.
If it's stock then the problem is probably that the block needs to be surfaced,sometimes the "deck" of the block can be uneven.If it is stock and you've lost another head gasket then I'd suggest taking it to a different shop,unless they are willing to repair it for free.

Hello I was looking at buying a 96 Trans am I have never owned a sports car before but I am a little scared of the KM's on it as it has 176000 kms Does that seem high to you never winter driven?
That would a little over 109,361 miles on the car. Figuring an average person drives their car year round and puts on 10,000 miles per year - the mileage seems normal.
