Which head gasket for Patriot LS6/LQ9 style heads?
I ordered a set of these heads last week with the 59 cc chambers from TSP, and was wondering what part # or which head gasket I sould use. My car is a 2000 SS. Thanks

I used the standard GM graphite LS1 head gasket on my set. Those or the steel shim ones would work fine. I think the graphite ones are a little thinner when compressed to help you retain some of that compression. TSP has the graphite gaskets, that is where I got mine. You'll love all the power these heads make!
Btw.. which cam are you going with?

I went with the 231/237 TSP cam. Gomer, your setup is what got me interested in the Patriot heads. My car is an automatic with a 3600 convertor and I can't wait to get this setup on. Do you happen to know the GM part # on those gaskets? Thanks
