LS9 head gasket
I just ordered a set of LS9 head gaskets from SDPC. They don't have them listed on their website, but I called and asked for them specifically and they added it to my order. 
From what I have read (will confirm soon) is that it has a 4.100" bore diameter and is a 7 layer head gasket.

They are the same thickness, it just uses thinner layers to end up at the same. I believe it is .053"
I have used these on a few F.I. builds. and they are a cheap alternative to o-ringing or 6 bolt, for cars with GM heads and less then 750 hp. Beyond that, a Virginia Speed double o-ring and aftermarket heads are what I recommend.

Verdad Gallardo Son, that aint no photoshop work there! Lol! They are in the bed and they make 18psi at the snap of the throttle! Just ask the little 5.3 that couldnt handle it!! The intercooler was for looks mostly! But after a hard 0-100mph pull the pipe is 20 degrees cooler at the outlet than the inlet with an infered temp gun, and my IAT Stayed Low!
I am running the LS9 gaskets on my 317 headed 5.3 with great results so far! The price is right, and they work great! It was pushing water last year with the stock head bolts and graphite head gaskets. ARP studs and LS9s = fixed
