people keep saying .051 are to big but stock are .050 but I'm thinking of going with the .045 if the .051 take to long... I just don't want a problem running pump gas in the car

Short version - don't worry about it. I'm running a zero-decked block, -5cc flat-tops, .028" gaskets, and a 53cc chamber on a mail-order tune with no detonation. My SCR is up around 12.5:1 and my DCR is around 9.5:1.
Still doesn't make sense? http://www.empirenet.com/pkelley2/DynamicCR.html and http://www.hotrod.com/pitstop/hrdp_0...ion/index.html
Detonation is a function of octane fuel and dynamic compression ratio, not the static compression ratio. While the static does partly affect the DCR, it doesn't incorporate valve events from the camshaft.

Personally I think you'll be fine with the .040 MLS Cometics....infact that's the same gasket I going to be using in my 408/blower build.....now granted I plan on having crazy valve timing and a bunch less SCR, but either way I'm going to use them.....even if I change my mind and stay NA. They're good gaskets and readily available, unlike the thicker ones.....
thinks for the help im a old SBC Lt1 is not new but as far as CR DR SR man you get a headache trying to please one of them lol thanks for the help guys im going with the .040 ill trust you on this one.
