i would't use the 1 layer head gasket i've heard alot of horror storys with people using then since your cc is going to be high i would use a oem ls 3 layer one or if u want more cc i would use a oem 3 layer one with the middle layer taken out of it and spray it with cooper sealen to get a good seal that is my 2 cents ofther than that nice set up good luck with your build oh and put the jdm p30 pistons in it insted of the gsr ones

I see you changed your injectors from 600cc to stock... good move. If you bump compression into the 11's, I would suggest at least an RC 310cc.

Like I said.... the GSR rods will not work on the LS crank in an LS (or B20)

Using a GSR (P72) or P30 piston will raise the compression... not exactly what you wanna do if you're boosting. Most turbo engines infact lower compression into the 9's. A stock LS is already blessed (or cursed...) with 9.2:1. So... if I were you I'd just get a set of forged pistons and rods and stick around stock compression if you're boosted.

Keep in mind stock rods and pistons are cast... which means they're not going to hold up to boost for long. Forged is the way to go if you're boosting.

You're at a crossroad now, you need to decide if you're boosting or staying "NA".

Regardless if you use an LS (B20B/Z) crank, you need LS (B20B/Z) rods.

Eagles and CP's are what all the turbo guys in KC use. I wouldnt use anything else.

Sorry, but I'm not a CP or Eagle catalogue, you're going to need to price the parts out.
