The minimum thickness gasket I would run is an 0.040" but you need to use a stock gasket if you don't have valve reliefs cut in your pistons. I suggest picking up a set of GM MLS gaskets.

Everyone on this forum uses .040 gaskets, but I when I talked to a few vendors they suggested a .045 to be safe. For the 2-3hp difference its not worth it.

Ok perfect. .051 is the factory one right?
thanks
yes they still do it.
Ok my goal for summer is have the car ready i going to use the ported LS6 heads ,MS3 and 150-175hp shoot. You think that the factory head gasket can hold it?

I hope so I plan to run a similar combo except unported 243 and a 150 shot (then a 200) at the end of the season.

Now ok i going to go with factory head gasket to be safe in PVC. Thanks so much guys for the Help.
I'm using a LS6 intake with factory ported T/body, ASP pulley, LT headesr, volant cai ,
42 lbs injectors to complement the MS3 and 243 heads with tune.
You think with this combo is posible to put 550 rwhp in automatic trans. car?
