.041 is the thickest Windsor gasket Felpro makes. They also make a .039 which is thinner (more compression). Someone else make make one a little bigger, but I would think they would be more susceptible to blowing out. You can always work the heads for more combustion chamber size or dish the pistons. You can also order custom pistons with the dish and compression height that you want, which I suggest anyone building a stroker do so they can get exactly the compression ratio they are after.
