I'm not sure what you should do... I can't honestly recommend a felpro gasket (seen a good number of them let go), and I don't know if you'd have any clearance issues between the piston and the gasket at high rpm (or any rpm for that matter). As long as the top of the piston never reaches the deck of the block, you'd probably be ok. That is something you'd want to check though, factoring in rod stretch at high rpm.
