Did I get the right gasket?

When I placed my vortec head/tpi base order with soggin dickey I asked for head gaskets and didn't think twice. I don't know anything about these so please help me out. Here is what I got GM performance parts #10185054

This is for a stock L98 with vortec heads. Should I send these back and ask for some thinner fel-pros? Thanks!!

I don't think it makes much of a difference, those will work and are not too much thicker than stock replacement gaskets.

If your car has a 350, you'll probably like the extra chamber volume to lower the comression. I got my Vortecs from SDPC, and I've been real happy. One thing is the rocker arms: make sure you have self-aligning, or use pushrod guideplates. Good luck, and let us know how it turns out.
