I used a set of Fel Pro MLS gaskets on a LS7 head NA engine. The gasket was very nice construction. It had a sticky surface to help fight water migration.
Never tried with forced induction yet.

from what i can tell, LS7 gasket appears to be ~4.150 bore. And priced in the $20-$25 range per side.

OEM quality/durability and mass production pricing is what I like about the GM gaskets.

Thanks for the feedback Kurt. Please post up if you try it on a FI engine.

I totally forgot about the LS7 gasket!

Thanks guys.
