Default LME 408 guys in here!!

Have any of u all measured your deck height on your 408.I am going to change my heads soon, but dont know what thickness to go with so I can get 0.032"quench.I know stock LS1 vary between 0.005-.007 out of the hole.Just asking to see if anyone has an idea.I have wiseco -8cc pistons, if that helps any.I talked to Brian he told me that he they deck the block, but he didnt tell me how much.I kinda wanna order them before hand so I can do the swap in a weekend,instead of waiting measuring then ordering gaskets blah...........I remember on time he told me that I needed a .051"gaskets to get 0.040 quench,so I did assuming its at .010-011" out of the hole,any help or experience chime in,Thanks

Mine is using weiscos as well with an -8cc. My deck height was -.012, so with a .051 gasket my quench distance was obviously .039. Hope that helps.

In general LME like to setup pistons at least .01 out on the iron blocks, best response would be to ask LME
