ls3 head gaskets ?s raising compression!

What head gaskets are you guys running to raise compression? I have unmilled cnced heads.the closest gasket i found is the mls 4.085 bore .040 thickness! Are there any on the market thats closer to the ls3 4.065 bore?
incase your wondering what cam im useing its lethals night fury cam.
Thanks in advance!

You don't want them exactly the same size as the bore. OEM gaskets are 4.080 bore anyway, so the Cometics being 4.085 is going to be fine.
