The LS9 Gaskets are cheaper and there have been people making 12-300rwhp on them, no 1/2" studs or anything. I would run them over anything else (besides 6 bolt).

I would run em'. You should be fine as far as bore is concerned but I would double check. I know 5.3L guys run them without problems (that I know of).

LS9 Gaskets are a prefect combo to any FI build. Their way cheaper then the Cometics and are well proven so far. Even the 7 layer MLS gaskets work well. I currently am running the 7 layer MLS's and haven't had an issue yet so these should work even better.
Parts are coming in fast lol. I have a lot of work to do!! Major parts are:

Kooks 1 7/8ths to 3" headders
Kooks true dual 3" exhaust
F1R w/5" pulley
FAST 102R combo
Lonnies fuel system,
Custom 2000cc injectors
-8 supply, -6 return
Twin 340 pumps
McLeod Street Twin w/ Upgraded disc
PST Driveshaft

Full suspension front and rear

That's pretty much it for now. Game plan is to run it around 23psi or so and see what she does.
