Default headgasket thickness question

ok the stock d16z6 headgasket thickness is .037"

what kind of effects on the tune will a .050'' compressed thickness headgasket have?

the thing is im going from a mls gasket to a copper gasket and this is the thinnest one i could find. will everything be okay to just swap the gaskets and thats it (as far as the thickness is concerned)

obviously its going to lower the compression, i dont see why is shouldnt be fine, if anything it would run a hair bit richer...
