yea why??? those might be thicker gaskets that would cause you to loose some compression!

Absolutely not. I am running them right now because the Dart heads have a little wider chamber. In actuality, the are a little thinner as well (0.051 vs. 0.054 for 5.7) as I recall. You will be fine with them. Gunnar from Patriot used to ship them with every head set as well.

Good luck with the install.

Thank you.
it's ok, but SCR will decrease a little with the added volume from the larger bore gasket.
