Thats a tall order you are making. In my opinion the extra compression will only help. It makes a huge difference especially on a street car. My TSM and TSL motors were 9.1 comp.
Cometic .060" issues?
My deck height on the little V6 is .035 shorter then stock. Off the shelf 3.830 turbo pistons would bring my CR to ~9.3:1 with .040" cometics. I can bring CR down to 8.9:1 with .060" but was wondering if that was too thick. Head CC is 41.80.
Goal is to run 9's on pump w/meth at 30 psi.
Thoughts?

Use the .040's. It will run better with that compression.
I do enjoy more compression on the street, and it spools easier, I was just worried about too much. My TE45A loves it over 25 psi and I didn't want to run into a detonation issue before the turbo got into it's sweet spot.
I know the TE45a wont take a full weight car into the 9's so maybe the compression is a moot point.

Thinner gasket more compression, and quit torturing yourself trying to run 30 psi on pump gas. Lol
by using a .060" you may actually have more detonation issues by decreasing the quench. Have you done any work to the heads? A better flowing head will make more power than increasing boost @ lower boost levels. Which will decrease intake temp drastically.
