Are ls9 head gaskets better than ls2?
im running a d1 procharger with 3.4 pulley on my forged ls2... should i run ls9 head gaskets vs the ls2? I should be running 15 to 18 lbs of boost. with ported 317 heads... thanks let me know what you think

I paid 40$ each for my LS9 gaskets. Im guessing the engineers at GM know a little better than we do and theres a reason for adding morel layers when adding boost....just a thought.

Thanks that was my main concern... the bore size differnce.. My ls2 has wiseco 4.005 bore -11 cc dished pistons, 6.125 callies rods, ported 317s, 232/240 .595/.608 115 lsa cam, and a super vic intake being fed by a d1 procharger with a 3.4 pulley.. i also upgraded to arp head studs and mains.. im exspecting 15-18 lbs of boost from hearing from similar builds. what kinda boost levels are you pushing and wat set up?
