What head gaskets with 15-17 PSI
I've always ran GM MLS gaskets. I have presurized the coolant system before and the car will still run with the MLS gaskets.
Right now I have the 6.2 5 layer gaskets.
I know KP has them on his car and they are holding up so far as well.

If these gaskets are that good, and Ive heard nothing but good, what gasket would I need to use to run an LS1 stock bore bottom with 317 heads? Or do they even make them for what I'm wanting to do?
We use the GM MLS head gaskets on my 402, which has seen 20 psi without any problems. We've had more problems with Cometic gaskets than we have had with the GM gaskets, maybe we were just unlucky though. Bob

Verdad Gallardo What head gaskets with 15-17 PSI ?
I have a set of the GM mls 02-04 zo6 head gaskets that are suspose to be good, I will be using ARP head studs.
I was thinking of the Cometic Phuzion LS1 boost head gaskets , they are expensive but are suspose to prevent head gasket failer in event of head lifting.
whats do you think?

Why would this be advantageous? Does the 3.90 bore gasket cause a shrouding effect on the combustion chambers if you run it with the 317 heads? Whoops if this is the case...pretty sure I ran a 3.90 gasket with stock 317s and a 3.903 bored cylinder. Oh well....hopefully this won't prove to cause any issues or make any noticeable difference in power. I would think you'd want the 3.90 bore gasket due to more gasket material between the cylinders on the motor side compared to a gasket that has less material between the cylinders...
The extra gasket material you speak of will not do anything for you since it is not sandwhiched between the block and the head, and left exposed from the larger chamber on the head.
Let us know how your set up works out.

I have heard of people having issues running the 3.90 bore gaskets with the 317 heads. You would have to do a search to find out the sealing issues some of the other members have come accross.

Sorry to ***** hummer, I'm just stressin now that this thing isn't gonna last longer than break-in now
No problem Hummer, your black TA looks mean. With all the goodies on that car, it should move! It will be interesting to see how well your 6 speed did.
02- I tried searching last night to see what other have experienced and the search was lacking. Today I came up with this, but you should be able to search for more info.

Hopefully everything works out for you.
SS1-I am not sure but I think you are right on the sizes. However you can run both gaskets on the 3.90 bore. I have run both, but have not boosted the 6.2's hard yet.
