Default cometic head gasket

In 3 weeks, after I get back from a vacation in Florida, i'm changing my timing belt b/c its due.
So, i'm gonna kill 2 birds with one stone and do the head gasket (also exhaust manifold gasket/intake gaskets/ blah blah blah).
I'm going with the Cometic head gasket, buit I don't know which thickness & bore to get.

Help!

I'm 90% sure I go with the 87.5mm since it says USE WITH STOCK, but I want a second voice of opinion from an experienced member (no offense to anyone).
87.5mm Bore #C5497-040 Use with stock and .020" bores
88.5mm #C5498-040 .040" bore size

Do you plan on boosting Josh? I only ask because that head gasket is kind of overkill for that motor in N/A applications.
With that aside, do you plan on getting new head studs also? Say....ARP head studs?
Looks like you're on the right track with the 87.5mm bro. I know you're just trying to get it right, but don't look too far into or you'll just drive yourself nuts, lol. Take a step back and then look at it again and it'll probably hit you that, you're initial thoughts are right. If not, then....you're right, lol.

I'll have been told/read/etc. was thats hands down the best head gasket on the market.
I've read into the ARP head studs as well.
I'm just trying to forumlate an idea in my mind as to what I am going to do.
