Default What intake gaskets with LS6 and boost?

Will the O-Ring setup hold boost? Or do I have to go to another style of gasket? This setup will eventually top off at 14-16PSI.

Ok sounds good, the guy I got my heads from used a paper style gasket and some sort of adhesive so wasnt sure if something like that was needed with boost.

Guess I'll go hunt down some intake gaskets now, fel pro are fine I'm assuming?

I'm gonna use the stock LS6 intake, mated to stock 317 heads, the guy that had my heads before me had a carb intake and elbow if I remember correctly. Probably why he used the paper gaskets.

Hey Paul. Yup, I was using the felpro paper gaskets because I was using the GMPP carb style manifold which doesn't use the o-rings.

Every time i see your car run I know how badly I screwed up by not going with a turbo and spending the extra $ lol. I guess I'll see what I can do with this pea shooter blower, and this basically stock pickup truck motor. Hopeing for low 11's this year!
