Boosted 5.3 lm7 with notched heads help!! Getting ready to install cam and springs and hope to run about 10-12 pounds of boost in the future. Since I have the heads off I noticed I have the notched heads and have heard I can't run lq9 or mls head gaskets which would be my choice for boost.
My question is what head gasket should I run with these notched heads and boost? Will the stock head gaskets hold up or is their a better option out there? Thanks for the help

Heads are cheap, I'd grab any non-notched LS head and slap it on. Shouldn't pay more than $50-60 a head.
That said 10-12lbs is pretty mild. I'd just grab some arp bolts (no need for studs at that level IMO) run the factory notched gaskets and go to town.
