I am using the Victor Reinz (stock GM) head gaskets with GM TTY head bolts. They have worked good for me all the way down to a 10.83@125 with 28# of boost!! I always make sure the head and deck is FLAT with a rough finish and follow the factory sequence when torquing the bolts. You have to avoid detonation regardless of which gasket you decide to use. 4 headbolts per cylinder limits the amount of clamp load you can apply to the gasket.
