Piston to valve clearance> well im wondering if anyone knows the piston to valve clearance on a stock headed 95 LT1, when i install the cam and other stuff, im thinking of going with a thicker head gasket to lower the compression ratio a tid bit, preparing for the boost? any comments?

LT1's dont really have a PTVC issue unless you are running large duration cams unless of course the deck has been milled your running aftermarket pistons heads shaved down that sort of thing. Is this for a stock bottom end? How thick of a headgasket you tring to go with?
If everything is stock I dont think there is a thick enough HG that would even help lower CR enough to help with boost. Need more info on your build.
