throw in some head studs to solve the lift problem I'm running 16-17 lbs with a d1 on my 243 ls2 heads I also had the gaskets but switched them out for the ls9s before I turned the boost up I got mine from sdpc for about 100 for the pair

[QUOTE=CAMSTER;14587789]The head gaskets will take it but ls2 heads will lift,what does it means? head gaskets leaks engine running hot when all else is good, ls3 heads are stronger...[/QUOTE]
Really everything I have seen and heard is that the ls3 head are thinner and the older heads are better for boost
