6.0 gasket question

I have a set of 317 heads going on my 00 aluminum block. What is the proper gasket for it. I found this number 12575392 doing a search. Is this the proper gasket so I don't have leaking problems?

Also are there and secrets on what to torque ARP head studs to?

Are the stronger studs out there a better purchase?

Thanks,
Glenn

I used Fel-Pro 9199PT gaskets( about $30 a set for Autozone ) and ARP head studs. The large studs torque to 65 ft pounds and the smaller to 22 ft pounds.

I'm running 6.0 GM MLS head gaskets and my motor saw 21 psi this month.

I am running those heads studs from that place in CA, not ARP.[B]

2000 5.7 block...317 heads with 6.0 gm mls gaskets and standard arp head studs tq to 70-75 ft/lb 15 psi but have spiked to 21. I think it's mostly in the tune as far as lifting heads
