Hey guys, if you have read my other thread, you will know I am rebuilding my ls6 engine now.....what would be the best head gasket for the forced induction application? I am running about 6.5 psi.

Thanks,

Dustin

Stock GM works fine, and easier on the back pocket

You can't beat the GM MLS gaskets for most applications. The only reason I am not running the GM gaskets is because I had a deck height change due to my piston/rod combo and having had milled the block and heads for trueness.

I have been using Cometic MLS gaskets now for sometime because I needed a custom size. I have had 0 issues with them up to 18#s of boost. No leaking or sealing issues either.

I'm running a custom sized Cometic as well, no issues.
