Default Anything wrong with using Felpro head gasket's and bolts?

Broke a pushrod and am about ready to go back together with it. Stock LS1 with bolt on's. Should I use the GM gaskets and bolt kit for the heads or is using the Felpro stuff just as good? I'm on a tight bugdet but I don't want to cut un-necessary coroners. If they are just as good, I'll use them and save a few bucks I don't really have. Thanks guys.

For a stock build I would use the felpro ones, but for any FI I would get a MLS, I have the ls9 gaskets on my turbo car

I agree for OEM application, nothing wrong with Felpro. IMHO I would get the GM MLS gaskets, they are not that much more than Felpro if at all.

Well after looking at the GM mls gaskets they are only a few dollars more than the felpro's so I guess I'll stick with the GM stuff.
