Default How Thin Of A Gasket Can I Use?

I am about to order a Torquer 3 and want to know how thin of a gasket i can run with out PTV issues. Is .03 or .04 fine.
I am going to be using stock LS6 heads and just want a little more compression.
Or would it be better to mill the heads?
Thanks in advanced

Mill those suckers and go with .040 cometic gaskets. You could jump up around 11.4 to 1 or a bit more. Should be good for some hp/tq
