Im running the stock graphite gaskets but i have 5.3l heads and dished pistons(-2cc) and there was a lot of room left over even with the smaller 61cc chambers and ms4 is ground on a 110lsa with 4 degrees advance.

Call TSP and ask them what to run. Theyll know if you can run a thinner gasket

TSP told me to run the stock gasket with this combo.

I am running cometic .040 on a 370 iron block with the stage 1 prc and ms4 works out to just below 11.1. Made 498 rwhp with 90/90 fast setup. plus I am spraying 200 wet shot. just be sure to re-torque them.

TSP posted one time a PTV measurement from a MS4 that they had just installed with stock heads and gaskets and the intake side was 0.067", which is already too tight for my comfort, so I wouldn't go any thinner without flycutting, but if you are flycutting, then go ahead and put a 0.040" cometic and mill some and get that compression back up there.
