Default Dart Head Owners.. What gasket are you running?

As title says...

I have put mine together with the 12498544 which is a 3.930 bore and I spoke to Dart about this and they say it will be fine. The only reservation I have is that the combustion chamber is 3.960 and part of the gasket will be showing. The reservation I have about the LS2 gasket is a 4.039 bore gasket on a 3.905 bore that will eventually see boost. Whats your recommendations?

For reference the car came back from the engine builder with the 3.930 gasket on it as well.

I ran the stock GM MLS gasket on my Z06 with Dart 205s.

I ran a 3.960 cometic once on a Dart 225 head, and had to trim the gasket in certain areas.
