Default LB7 Head Gaskets

Just blew the head gaskets on my 01-in the process of doing them myself-looking at some other posts for info @ pics and I must say they are great as I am new to this sight.Just wondering what else I should do while I have heads off.Im going to use use ARP studs-should I use GM gaskets or cometic?I have a banks big head ,TST tuner,banks exhaust-going to install lift pump as I think its bursting after install of tst.(found that on this sight) Thinking about using Industrial inj.50hp injectors - anybody else try them-they seem cheap after core charge $2400 ,1600 core?Kind of limited budget dont want to go to crazy.Truck has 6 inch cst lift & runs 35" tires, stock gearing,6spd.Would like to see what you guys recc.I live in colorado at 8000ft if it matters

didnt see this post.

you can use the oem gasket, they use a specific gasket based on how much your pistons protude out the block. they have three different thicknesses. you can tell what kind it is by looking at the gasket.

injectos are kind of expensive, do you have transmission upgrades?
