Which head gaskets are you guys running? I will be running a D1SC(8psi) with GT2-3 cam on the stock bottom end(around 500rwhp)? Are the cometics worth the extra $$ over the GM MLS? I will also be using ARP head studs.

rwhp in sig. I have heard good things about guys really pushing on stock mls gaskets, if im no mistaking some of the gm gaskets are 5 layer??

Standard GM MLS gaskets are 5 layer. You can also go with LS9 head gaskets if your using 317 heads, their 7 layer. I've ran the standard GM gaskets the whole time I've had my car and not a single problem yet.

3rd vote for the GM MLS gaskets. The Cometic are very hit a miss. You either swear by them or swear at them. Not much middle ground from what I have heard. I just put a set of Cometic’s on my buddies NA setup. This is the first set of Cometic's I have ever used so I guess I will see which swearing group I end up in. LOL

go gm unless you need a special thickness, then do cometic.

Are the LS9 MLS's better then the regular ones? I never heard of that so I wanna see wince I'm about to toss the heads on. Thanks!

I second that, special thickness is the only reason we used cometic on my buddies build.

I have been using GM MLS gaskets since '03 and they are holding up well. I only push around 8-9 psi though.

No info on the LS9 MLS? Just wondering if it is a better option then the reg 5 layer that everyone is using?

^^^^ figureing it is made for a boosted motor. i am going to say it is better. and it came out after the 5 laye. so i dont think GM would go bawards in gaskets

LS9 gaskets are 7 layer. Do a search. This issue just cam up not to long ago. There was also part numbers listed.
