GM new style '02-'03 MLS gaskets. Assuming your planning to stay NA. If you're running N20 or high boost, get some Cometic gaskets but they're pricey.

ummm, MLS gaskets are the same thing as the cometic's

Unless you need a funky bore size, or thickness, stick w/ the OEM ones. They work just fine on my mild setup

the stock MLS 6L gaskets work fine up to a 4.030 bore if you're on a small bore motor, use the LS6 gasket.
