You can either shave off .010 or shave off .030 and add another gasket. Don't run anything less than 91 octane though.

Heads

If you are interested, I have heads off of a 99 that are shaved .030 along with the .030 base gasket. This is good for 3-5HP. I am putting mine back to stock before having it ported, so I would be willing to work something out for ya since I am looking for stock ones.

You want to shave the heads 10 thou more then you add in base gasket thickness. If you add 2 base gaskets(10 thou X 2 = 20 thou) you want to cut 30 thou off the heads.

Just to clarify.. On mine I removed the stock gasket and replaced with a .030 gasket. Stock is .010, so inactuality I added .020. I then had heads cut .030. IT works well.
