if he didnt take off any metal, then a gasket of the same thickness as stock will do (1.2mm?). you can get a titanmotorsports mhg, a cometic mhg, hks mhg. dont forget to tell the engine builder to use arp headstuds and get the Roughness Average on the block under 30 or the mhg wont seal right. also, there are shops you can buy upgraded ct26's, alot of people like a 57 trim.

as for the bottom end, i believe there was a guy on sm that hit 700hp on stock internals. however on a daily driven motor that hasnt been rebuilt to spec wont take that abuse, id say maybe 350-400hp at the most and i wouldnt recommend running a setup for this on a weathered motor for very long.
