Gasket Kit
Can anybody tell me if this is a good deal. I am having my head and cam installed and was told to get a gasket kit. If any one know of a better priced kit, PLEASE feel free to chime in.

That does not seem too much. Make sure that you also get new head bolts and a crankpulley bolt. DO NOT REUSE THEM!!!

I simply bought head gaskets, balancer seal and bolt, and oil pump pickup o-ring from GM and reused all other gaskets. The LSx engines have nice gaskets, unless you just damage one you should be able to reuse the rest of the gaskets. I bought ARP head bolts.
Also depending on which heads you are reinstalling you may be able to use the later model factory GM MLS gasket which are really nice gaskets at a very good price.
