Yeah, lemme know. Send me the part number too, thanks.
Have you had your beast to the track yet, or are you still getting it dialed in?

Roger, the Cometic part # is 202-391040. They are 3.910" gaskets that are .040" thick. I'm running that thickness of gasket for extra compression. These were too small for my 3.905" bore but should work great for you.
I had the truck to the track but the timer wasn't working on my side so I didn't get a time. I did embarass an SRT10 Viper truck though. Oh, and an Ecoboost, LOL. I'm spinning all four tires on launch and I'm sure my narrow exhaust is killing me. I'd guess I ran a 12.5 or so. I'm going to try and go again tonight.

L33 pistons = 4.8 pistons. Same GM part number in the catalog, it's been discussed here in the past. I've done my homework there already. Besides, I found a set of good used pistons for $80(less than a tank of gas, haha). Wish I could find some 243's for that price, I'd be all over them.

Stock gaskets and bolts are going to be fine in your case roger, dont reinvent the wheel or get caught up in internet talk.
I rode in a 05 GTO, stock 100,000 LQ4, front mount turbo at 22PSI, runs 9.7's @ 144. Completely stock cept for LS6 cam.
Is this enough proof that the stock stuff will be fine? I can tell you more !
I just hate to see you spend money and wrench time if its not really needed since your not doing a total HI-PO rebuild .
Ok, you and I are prob never going to see over 14-15 PSI with our setups, the stock head gaskets do fine.
