Default Which head gaskets?

What head gasket is everyone with blowers/turbos using?
I have a set of Felpro stock replacement gaskets. Are they strong enough?

I have a set of 6.0 MLS truck gaskets that i can use. My bore will be 3.905" after the block work is done. Will the 6.0 gaskets still be ok? I see Cometic makes a 3.910" gasket. I think the 6.0 gasket is a 4.0" bore size. I hope my GM gaskets aren't too big.
Maybe PSJ or Harlan can help.

i think they will be alright.
i use a 4.0 bore gasket on my 3.905 engine, but i also have 6.0 truck heads (4.0" chamber) the 4.0 bore size is needed when at a 4" chamber, otherwise they will leak.

i think PSJ has the 4" bore gaskets with 5.7 heads.

I was going to use cometic, but after they couldn't produce the product in a timley manner, I went wth Mr. Gasket's haven't had any trouble yet! And they got them to me n less than 3 days. I waited on cometic 2 weeks then asked about the estimated ship time they said it would be another week before they even shipped!

This thread was 8 months old. But I guess we can still learn from it.
