Off the shelf gaskets are not made to a specific bore size.

im running trick flow heads and i dont want my compression to drop to much so i might get a thinner gasket, but i am on a budget so i dont want to get new pushrods. i really have no clue when it comes to head gaskets
You're running trickflow heads with no milling? *sigh*
Stock pushrods? *second sigh*
You may want to wait to finish this thing until you have the $$ to do it right. But in any case, you shouldn't determine pushrod length until you actually checked it with an adjustable pushrod anyways.
Building engines isn't a guessing game.
