From everything I have learned here the quick answer is YES. I have a felpro gasket, and ARP's and was told I am safe to 400hp I am shure you will get alot of info here.
I know people who have used them for up to 18 psi of boost.
Im running one now but have not turned up the boost yet. I had a mhg which started seeping water after a year. Since I didnt want to pull the block for better prep I just went with the felpro. Im gonna use it and think of it as a fuse. If I detonate Id much rather blow an easy to replace headgasket vs a much harder and expensive to replace piston.
This is something I think is overlooked when people consider which headgasket system to use.

Hard is relative. You have to hang the engine, and lower the subframe.
I bought a Fel-Pro steel core laminate headgasket from Summit Racing just the other day. And the truth is, I don't even know what it is. If it is stock replacement, then it is going in. If it is a MLS permatorque, it will have to wait.
Your safe, i was on a upgraded fuel system this felpro gasket and arp stud and a t70 turbo pushin 24 psi for about a year and a half and thats what the gasket looked like after i pulled the motor out (reason.. forged internals) itl handle over 400 hp well tuned
When you say the bolts are torqued to factor spec, do you mean the Toyota factory spec? Or ARP spec? There's a big difference between the two and you should tell us right away cuz if it's Toyotas spec, you need to tighten them more or you'll blow that HG.
