You looking at lowering your CR as well? If so, you might want to get them milled for starters even though you said that you arent going to, and gaskets is a whole other animal in itself. I run cometics, but the stock GM head gaskets are fine as well. if you plan on taking them on and off periodically I would look into some of the ARP head studs, but the gm headbolts are waaaaay cheaper, and will get the job done.

head gaskets, coolant, oil, possibly power steering fluid, head bolts/studs (GM or ARP)
