Boosted lq4 head gaskets?

I need head gaskets for my 99 lq4 317 heads and turbo in the plans. I've heard a good amount of negative feedback on cosmetics. I'd like to hear people's recommendations. Gm gaskets seem to work well but I don't know how much people have pushed them also any thoughts on fel pro? Thanks

buy LS9 gaskets they are forgiving and you can re use them. I have reused mine twice in a 1000+hp motor. A friend has re used them 4 times

LS9"s are supposedly the best gm gaskets for boost. That's what Im going with on my procharger build.

One more vote for LS9 gaskets. Haven't had any problems with them over the last year @ 8 psi and 10:1 compression.

Sounds like LS9's are the way to go on head gaskets...
