Default HG thickness w/ Torquer 2 & Stock Z06 heads?

ok guys i'm pickin' up a Torquer v.2 and have unmilled Z06 heads going with it. My question is will a .040 gasket work and have good PTV clearance still? the reason i ask is this would help to bump up the compression. Should i do that or just stay with stock gaskets? Also are stock length pushrods ok for this cam?~Cole~

.040 Cometic headgasket is perfect with those heads plus it will improve quench and give a "slight" raise in compression.

You should buy a pushrod length checker before you try and guess a pushrod length. This will save you a headache and some money. Good Luck.

ICL is intake centerline or LSA - advance in grind

like 112+2 (110 ICL)or 112 +4 (108 ICL),

you could run a 112+2 with .040 with good PTV, but + 4 might be pushing it.
If you have a 112+4 you can always retard it 2* via an adjustable chain FYI.
