Im wanting a little thicker base gasket to throw in my motor to see if it likes a little more port timing.

TDR stocks them in just about any size you could imagine. Going with a .030-.035 won't net you very much power, you will be raising the ports less than a 1/2mm and both of them the same amount at that. You will also be increasing the squish clearance in the process which will cause a slight loss of bottom to mid power

I have about .032" squish and 193 degrees exhaust now so it wouldnt hurt to give it a little more of both.
