Default Want alternative to Fel Pro 1041 Head Gasket

I have the following head gasket:

FELPRO part number 1041

Head Gasket V8 LS1
Gasket Bore 4.135
Compressed Volume 9.4cc
Compressed Thickness .041

I am looking for a different gasket around the same compressed thickness - maybe a MLS type if available.

Can anyone point me towards an alternative?

I have 5.7 LS1 block with 243 heads.

Thanks.

Trick Flow/Cometic .045 head gasket from Summit Racing part number is
TFS 30694030-045 or Trick Flow/Cometic .051 head gasket Summit part number is 30694030-051 are a couple of options. Cometic also makes a .040 head gasket for your engine. Check with Scoggin-Dickey they also carry a mulitude of head gaskets for LS series engines.

Which one did you end up with? Part number? I'm looking for another option as well.
