What is the thickest head gasket you can get for a BBC 454? I currently have 10:1 comp and really want to get a Procharger for it. The motor has only 2500 miles on and I really don't want to pull it apart yet, any advice for me?

what cylinder heads and pistons are you running? If it's a closed chamber head you don't want to use a thicker head gasket to drop compression as it will kill the quench.

That being said do you want to run a fiber or mls gasket?

I am running the AFR 315+, and the pistons are.... TRW's but I forgot exctly which ones, I know they are not popups though..
