What kind of boost numbers you going to run? If your staying to low boost then just run a stock MLS gasket, as they have been proven to hold up very well.

well what motor do you have...the mls oem gaskets are 5.3/5.7...the 5.3 uses the same as the 5.7. Thats the one i used for a supercharger setup 10lbs and no issues on my 5.3. I ordered mine from gm parts direct...

I cant speak about the 6.0 and up.

2nd that. People run them with tons of boost and it's the OEM gasket for your LQ4.
