Default Thinnest head gasket?

Hey guys, I'm putting together my 6 liter, And was saddened to see the pistons were in the Hole, By like, .018 ish, and that makes me , And I came to realize to both a. get my quench real tight to help stave off detonation, and b. raise my compression a tad, I would need a freakishly small gasket, but the thinnest I've seen is .041. Oh, fwiw, I plan on boosting, with 25cc dish pistons, so, As of now, I'm aiming for a whopping 8.2:1.
Thanks
Tim
Ps, If they're out there, where to get them?
Thanks again

No, I was opting to try and leave as much material as possible for future f* ups, and, the deck checked out pretty straight... Just those pistons.... stupid Wiseco's, shoulda ordered ones for the 6.098"rod rather then the ones for my rods (6.125") then I woulda been outta the whole.007", argh, actually order the right parts and it doens't turn out like I hope.
