Graphite or GM MLS? Just did a ton of reading up on these two....so,
Would the graphite ones be ok for H/C (~430whp) +100 shot? Strong enough?
Stock bore etc...
I think the graphite ones are more reliable at sealing but the MLS would hold more cyl pressure.
Either way I'll be using ARP head studs.

Yeah I would have no hesitation using the MLS if the block was recently machined. But it isn't. The heads are mirror finished but the block will not be after I removed the stock heads.
The MLS gaskets are nice as they make future swaps much easier. Clean the block surface and check block and heads with a straight edge. Make your decision based off those results.
