head gaskets for a boost 347 and AFR230s.?? finally got around to ordering my heads, got AFR 230 small bore heads being built right now to top of my forged 347 midframe turbo build. and got the sad news the my LS9 gaskets wont work with them. soo i need a gasket with a 4.135 bore..
what gasket should i be looking at for this kinda heartbroken that i can run my ls9s and will be selling them off now.

TT 347 with AFR 225's here. I run the ls9 gasket. Best choice imo. The cometics look like junk in comparison.

Straight from Tony would be him posting...lol.
I might beleive he said they aren't the best choice. If he said the won't work, he is just wrong. Many people are running them with these heads with zero issues. I owned both the cometics and the ls9's at the same time. I returned the cometics.
