Gaskets good or no.

Guys with actual engine building experience please no tech article nut huggers thanks muchachos!

Here are the headgaskets im getting FPP-1144-061



Rear main seal
(because it doesnt come with the cam swap gasket kit, which together with a cam gasket kit is still cheaper than a full engine kit which basically adds head gaskets and rear main seal plus side is im using a performance rear main seal and saving a few bucks)


cam swap gasket set


Im basically am throwing in the rms and cam swap gaskets for ****s and giggles im really looking for postive feedback on the headgaskets before I hit buy.

Heres the reason behind getting such a thick gaskets btw.
Im looking at 10:99:1 compression with .061 headgaskets using a very good calculator.
(I punched in all the numbers using a .039 gasket to get the CR with 64 cc heads to match the compression info I got from srp then changed the head gasket thickness until it was spitting out the compression ratio I want with my 72cc heads)

I want to run pump gas dammit. Can you blame me? After all the hard work and time and effort and money I want to drive my damn car not trailor it...im using a comp nitrous 284 cam(hope to bleed off a little compression with that and its good for nitrous with the whole opening the exhaust valve earlier and all)
Maybe set the timing back slightly so I can street this car on the weekends without running 103 octane lol.

Suggestions advice agree disagree let me know fellas.
Thanks
