LS1 Engine, adding LS6 heads... gasket options?

Like the title says, I've got an LS1 engine and am adding stock 243 LS6 heads. I'd like to know what my options are for head gaskets to bump up the compression if possible (if that would be wise). It's going to run N/A and there will be a cam.

why are you putting on STOCK heads.... even if they are LS6 heads you should still get them ported/polished... and milled to a higher CR.!

you do want to make alot more HP dont you?

im going the same route... im using stock gaskets though. its not too expensive and a better alternative to putting the stock 853/241's on. I cant afford p&p'd heads right now so thats why im putting the ls6 heads on.
