i did some searches and it looks like .04 might be a little safer. im going with stock gaskets and my lift is 0.563. so many variables.

you should be fairly safe with up to .060 milled with a 221-224 563 cam (assuming you got that Speed Inc. grind a few guys have). i agree though, there are MANY variables.
