Default stock 317 head gasket problems

i was just wondering if anyone knows on what boost levels will 317's start pushing head gaskets. my turner told me to go with a set of as cast trick flow heads but i don't really have the funds to do so right now. im not looking for crazy hp numbers i would be fine with somewhere in the 600 range. basically here's my set up

73 nova ss

forged 370 9:1
arp studded heads and mains
stock 317's with duel springs
tu1 cam
80lb injectors
edelbrock pro flow
bw s475 t6 1.32 ar
th400 rmvb
9" 3.23's

any input would be much appreciated!

The ls9 head gasket shouldn't push water for the power you want...

They are 7 layered and are specifically made with boost in mind.. $100 bucks
