if you are just gonna go with the stock size i would use some GM MLS 99-02 LS1 gaskets. you can pick them up from Texas Speed for pretty cheap. they have been proven time and time again.

MLS has been holding on my boosted ls1 to 25psi, 600hp 700trq. pretty sure they can handle some power adders too.
