Please do not consider thicker head gaskets to lower compression, there's very little leeway when adjusting gasket thickness if you are staying within proper quench distance.
If I remember correctly a 383 only achieves about 10.7-1 comp with a flat top piston and 64cc. (5cc to 7cc for valve reliefs, and proper quench)
A '96+up vortec has a slight dish and is only 9.3 rated @ stock 350ci with it's claimed 64cc heads (not sure if it would measure out to a true 9.3 !!)

Good to know then, thanks.
I based the 7cc on looking up the stock dished piston cc amount and that was what came back. So you're saying to not go with a steel shim thin head gasket to increase compression?
