here's the list
408 LME motor
custom Wiseco piston w/ 2cc valve relief & lateral gas ports
Cam motion cam listed above
AFR 225's W/ felpro .041 head gaskets
eagle forged crank
Callies rods
LSX
Kook's 1 3/4 -1 7/8 stepped race headers
TSP true duals
car is a M6
and the rest of my mods are in my sig.
Thanks Shawn

GMHTP magazine just put together a 427 LS2 motor and used a lot less radical cam than yours. I think the cam specs were 228/228 115lsa for good drivability and a broad stump pulling torque curve which would do verygood when matched with 3.08,3.23,3.42 gear. But like you, I also love the idea of a big nasty sounding cam and steep gearing 3.73,3.90,4.11 etc.

cometics can be ordered in thickness from 0.027" all the way up (so you can make a perfect match to your piston-to-deck clearance, they are STRONG, and you can reuse them as many times as you want

that is all they "stock" but Cometic will build a gasket (same cost as "off the shelf") down to 0.027"........you just have to (and are better off) deal with Cometic directly (personally I think you get your parts faster that way...)..........I TRIED to get them to make me an 0.018" but they wouldn't.....said something about the gasket would be too thin and burn up.......
