When you say "If they are pre 2000 they won't work due to there being some differences in the heads." do you mean that if my heads (1999) are pre-2k then the cometic gaskets will not work??

Head Gaskets - Z06?? (N/A vs. Boost) I thought I'd put this here rather than in the forced induction forum.
What is the best head gasket for a 400+rwhp n/a M6 LS1?
I've heard the 'Zo6' head gaskets are good but have not done any research on the topic - anyone know how much the head gasket kit runs?

Re: Head Gaskets - Z06?? (N/A vs. Boost) The word on the street is the Cometic gaskets. At least thats what my research turned up. You can get just about any thickness you want.

Re: Head Gaskets - Z06?? (N/A vs. Boost) You might want to do some research on it. There were some guys that had notches in their heads. I honestly cannot remember if it was 98 only or 98 and 99. I would probably go cometic if you are going to go FI though.
