Cometic .120's

So i was talkin to a vendor today, tryin to igure out a way to get my nearly stock CR engine lower. I already have the 72cc heads so it kinda left teh gasket. HE told me about cometic .120's. This seems like a huge gasket. What kinda power would yall recommend with this. Maybe its jsut me but it seems like it might become a issue with the size. Thanks for any advise.

2 questions...... one, 9.6 CR isnt that bad and thats what u should be at anyway, plus everyone ive ever asked says never go with anything but GM MLS gaskets.
two, are u really at 661RWHP on a stock block?

Well im goin forged now but the engine i got i got froma bud that is a w2w stock compression engine. So with the 72cc heads and a GM MLS headgasket im only at about 9.2-1 ish. And i wanna get lower then that if posible. I know that alot of people on here use Cometics,specially the people that are makin alot of power, and that is where i hope to be as well.
As far as stock shortblock power ya. I like to push teh limits. http://video.ls1tech.com/search/99ss...8d2db40fe1.htm Thanks

Hmmmm these gaskets could possibly save me a ton of work and $$$$ when I go FI. Any info would be awesome. That does seem like a huge gasket though.

SH u think that the .120's would blow apart? Im interested in what yall think would happen. I would assume that Cometic wouldnt make a gasket taht couldnt handle the power but i trust yall over them. Thanks
