I'll keep the stock pistons so I don't have to mess with it. And I will be getting a checker because I've got the ls6 cam and ls7 lifters

Stock heads are back from the shop with the .03 milled off. Engines being put back together, so now it's time to find head gaskets. Any recommendations? Best for money, compression, performance?

I had my 243's milled that much and I bought/used the GM Performance composite head gaskets. They're thin and with the heads being milled yield around 11.3:1 from what I've researched.
