What head gasket size do I need????? Ok I've got a Katech LS2 402 stroker with AFR 225 72cc heads. Pistons are -12cc dish and I'm going with the APS twin turbo kit in my camaro. I want a SCR around 9.5. So what size head gasket do I need? Will stock 6.0L gaskets work? I also have a set of LS7 gaskets at the shop I can put on there, if its the right size. Please help ASAP. Puttin motor together today. Thanks Jordan

How much are your pistons out of the hole?
Using 0.014" out of the hole, gasket thickness came up to be 0.080. Higher gasket thickness is not the optimum way to reduce your SCR.
With 6.0L MLS gasket, you will be at 9.8 SCR.
