I think this is what your looking for:

With .040 head gaskets:

With GM MLS .051 head gaskets:

Aaron,

Can you run your program on my combo? My setup is LS6 with TFS heads milled to 60cc with Cometic .040 gasket. The only tricky part is that I flycut my pistons to a depth of about .100" on the intake valves only. Cam is 232/236 .595/.578 113+3. Not sure what my compression is now afterwards.
