Default Thinner head gaskets

Well, I've got a good portion of the PI stuff pulled off. I've been doing some research, and with the stock 2v dished pistons and the larger combustion chamber of the 99 4v head, my compression ratio will be dropping a bit.

Now is there a brand of thinner head gaskets I could get to try and compensate for this? I realize it's not going to make too much of a difference, but I've heard the most head gaskets can do is usually bump it up .5 or so.

Any input?
