Default .040 or .054 Gasket???

I'm going to switch my heads from small bore to big bore AFR 225's. The new heads are milled to 68cc and was wondering on which gasket to go with for better SCR & DCR???? Cam is in sig............

What pistons do you have and how much are they in or out of the hole?
At a guess of 2cc valve relieves and pistons at 0 deck I would defentially go with the .040 gaskets.
Why are you switching heads?
You really thing there is that much power to be gained?
If I were switching heads and taking AFR's off I would defentially have done a 4"bore ETP LS7 head so I could have a head that flows 360+ with a manifold that can almost keep up with the heads.
I think what your doing is a lot of work for little gain.
Hopefully for your sake I am wrong.
