.040 most of the time...if the block is good though .060 is only safe about 50% of the time. it's a crapshoot with those blocks...but i'd say about .040" to be safe seeing as how you're only gaining a few ci

From what i have read and i have read a lot. .60 is ok but not good enuff. If it is n/a then ok but if it is going to be with a power adder no way in hell.
