Im looking at part number Fel-Pro Q9199PT for an 04 LQ4, I think its just a normal MLS head gasket but its CHEAP at 17.5 a piece vs 49 a piece at the dealer with my discount.

damn, $18 for a head gasket is dirt cheap.
TSP has the OEM 6.0 MLS gaskets (I got them from them) for $72 I believe. not bad. I just always prefer to keep everything GM if possible.

They're a MLS gasket Im going to do a little more research in the morning to make sure they are what Im wanting but I believe they are and at that price they are kinda hard to beat.
Description:
"OEM stock replacement Fel-Pro head gaskets are ideal for stock rebuilds on street-driven cars and trucks. Available Fel-Pro head gaskets feature both multi-layer steel-core and composition construction. Fel-Pro head gaskets are not intended for race applications."
This isnt what Id call a "race" application, this motor will get at most 9#s of boost later on, this is just a mild mannered build.
