Default Head gasket bore size

I'm getting ready to put my 6.0l back together, and can't decide what bore size for the head gaskets. The block has 4.010 bore now, with WCCH 317 heads. I don't know if it matters but I will be running a lot of boost if it makes any difference.

Im using ls9 head gaskets and the 4.1 bore of the gasket was used to determine compression ratio when I picked out pistons. Dont know if that helps any.

get a gasket bore that is at least 0.030" bigger than your cylinder bore or your head combustion chamber bore - whichever is bigger.
