Default Which head gasket

Okay my motor is a stock LS1 long block with 77k on it took the heads off to have a valve job and new comp 918 springs also adding a LS6 cam .Was wondering which head gaskets to use GM MLS 12498544 or the LS9 12622033 which has a 4.1 bore ? The stock gaskets seemed to work just fine before taking off the heads. Motor is making around 8 psi but might take it up to 10 with a smaller pulley and the aster bracket I picked up (hopefully no more belt slip).

since its a small bore motor & your talking low boost I'd stick with the stock gasket. The bigger bore of the ls9 will drop your compression a wee bit & IMO is not needed at only 10psi
