You really need to know what thickness of gasket you need. Are you milling the heads?? If so how much?? What are the cam specs??
I run a 224/.581 cam w/5.3 heads milled .018" on top of the cheapo(17.99 @ Autozone) FelPro stock LS1 replacement gaskets sprayed with copper. Been on there almost 7 months & not a single issue.

I haven't had a single issue. Just sprayed them with the copper spray, put them on the block & set the heads down on them. Then bolted them down exactly to a "T" per the torque specs.
Block cleaning is where alot of people mess up. Also following the proper torque specs & procedure. These work fine for me, but my cam has far less lift also.
I would think they would work fine for you also though since they are a little thicker than .040" compressed.

I have the MLS gaskets on my 99. The only problems were they didnt seal to some of the early heads with the notch in the middle.
THe MLS gaskets held a 200 shot the piston let go before the gasket.
