Default The winter mods begin

Hey guys.
K. 08 street bob with a 96. My worked heads are to be shipped next week. Bike is going to my bro's shop. I bought woods t6-6 cams with Torrington bearings,worked over heads,putting all my willie g stuff going on. I have new levers and covers all around,hand grips and pegs.
Now I am swapping heads and I was thinking about a 0.030 cometic head gasket. Will that small bump in compression hurt me. The heads still have stock combustion chamber size,they just flow better. I also have a pcv to put in and a propipe. It's gonna take a couple weeks of nights to get er done so I am asking everyone for any advice,tips or tricks to doing all of this. I am getting the inner bearing removal/installer tool for the cams and yes I have a manual. I am just asking for some insight from guys who have actually done it.
Wish me luck and thanks for any help and support.

No, the bump in the compression won't hurt you.

I shaved my heads down to right where the fins are and boosted the sh*t out of mine, although I have compression releases installed for start up.
