Default Lowering compression

I have read that super thread about PI head swap, but my question is where can I get those cosmetic head gaskets that are thicker to lower the compression rate?

I don't want my stang to be really hard to turnover[:@]

My car turns over fine I didn't notice any change with the uped compression.

Also that is one of the benifits to the swap higher compression = more power. I even have a procharger on mine and it runs great.
