You want as little as necessary because this is where your high CR comes from.  
The thickness of the head gasket is the major part of P to H clearance.   I ran 
.026 P to H clearance at Cal Speedway and the piston kissed the head and I spun 
a bearing.   My machine shop guy likes .040 for safety but Iâ??ve been running 
.032 and itâ??s working out great
