Head Gasket, will it make a differance

[BBKNARF]

I love taking my car to the track and just pound on it down the 1/4 mile, I love making changes and tweeking the motor just to go faster I want to know if its worth changing the head gasket. Right now I'm using a fel-pro 0.039 thick gasket with a static compression ratio of 10.64, a friend of mine gave me a new set of Cometic steel gasket 0.027 thick and will bump up the s.c. ratio to approx. 10.95,
So I just want to know from some of the pros out there will the car be a 10th faster from this change only ?
Thank you.

Aluminum heads? If not, pushin' it on pump gas...OR, you could try the Mopar Stock "Steel shim" that's only .019 Compressed....

Personally, i would leave it alone....that's not enough of an increase to make any significant change in power, inmho. 

There's lot's of ET left on the table ; your 122mph is good for low 11.0's/high 10's 

I would focus on the efficiency of the chassis and squeeze the most out of it before worrying about increased power.

Yes, I'm using aluminum Eddy heads. Thanks for the tip guys. Nice looking motor Ron.

Then, the Steel shim is out of the question...Yep, Like Ron, I'd leave it alone as well.
