which gaskets
which gaskets Soo i'm 98% done with buying all the parts i need for my H/C/I build. Here's my list of what i bought and what i have on the car now to help you let me know which gaskets i need.
what i bought: Llyod elliott LE2 Cam and heads 223/227.610/.614 112 LSA and the heads are .02/1.60 valves
Patriot Gold Dbl springs, Ti retainers, locks and locators
custom valve job
mill, cleaning and assembly
flow about 305/220 heads i bought are 243's btw.
ls6 ported oil pump, ls2 timing chain, ls7 lifters, ls6 intake, ticks master adjustable,gm slave. monster stage 2 clutch. plx wideband.
what i have on the car now: tsp 1 7/8 longtubes, egr air and pump delete, ported throttle body, slp air lid, slp lm2 catback, ory pipe. and hp tunner work done to it.
I'm keeping the stock injectors, unless the duty cycle exceeds 80-90% the rockers that came on the 243 heads i will use.
Now my question to all of this, is the gaskets, i narrowed it down to where im getting them and my options but i'm not sure which to choose from i have a link for it. and my very last thing i need i have to wait till i tear the top end off to figure it out, i need to get pushrod lenght checkers and then i will get hardend pushrods once i findout the correct lenght.

Like said above, GM-MLS. If you want to go with a different thickness for headgaskets, then Cometic is the way to go.
Also, I didn't see anywhere stated of you going with the comp trunion upgrade for you rockers. It's definitely worth it.

i'm gonna skip the trunion. I'm going to stick with the stock rockers that came with the 243 heads i just got. Now should i still get pre 04 bolt kit since the heads i got came from a 06 ls2 ? even though its for my '98 camaro ? and should i stick with the gm crank pulley or get the arp ?

My rockers are still stock, no problems yet. The comp upgrade is in the plans and is a good idea, but not to hard to get to as a project later.

I would upgrade the rockers if your going to spin it past 6200 rpm, no better time to do them and its cheap insurance. Get the GM MLS gaskets and I would get ARP head bolts, those stock stretchy bolts suck!
