What is everyone using for head gaskets? Are the new gm holding up? I have done a bit of searching and some people say they are good and some still like the victor ones. Been a few years now so sure someone has really pushed them?
Best head gasket choice

I bought both. The lml gold and the victor. Ended up doing victor with my build. They seem proven.
It sounds like the LMLs hold up just fine in stock apps, but what about in twins/big singles situations like Franken's setup?? Any issues when they are used with studs?
Victor ones in mine hitting 80 psi boost on standard arp 2000 studs. No issues. I'd personally go with the victors.
Every one I've done has had studs used with them. Zero issues

They will hold up we'll to power. The only two things to consider is the fact that there is much more clean up using them vs the old style and secondly I don't know how we'll they will hold up to milage. I have done head gaskets with 380k miles and found the older style coating had completely disintegrated. I'm not sure if the new ones will be better or worse. I wouldn't be scared to use them.

My personal opinion is any mls gasket should hold our pressures fine. The issue is keeping them clamped tight enough to keep the seal with the aluminum iron difference. You'll find a lot of slick surface gaskets in aluminum head iron block combos like copper and graphite.
