Default Head Gasket Recommendation

Im currently replacing my (stock)head gaskets due to a loose head bolt. I was wondering if you guys could give me some recommendations on something good but cheap. I'm running 8psi boost, my friend said get ceramic. Should I just get some cheapos or should I grab something better since its supercharged? part numbers help

read my reply, use either of those. You try using a real good mls type gasket with a deck finish with a high ra finish and you wont be happy. If you dont understand what I just said use either a 1011 or a 9333
