Default Decking the 4.0?

Anyone decked the head on a 4.0? What's safe? Wanting to take the compression up to about 9.5:1 without new pistons, crank, etc... Looking for a little more torque and gas mileage.

Most I have ever taken off was 20 thousanths. I am sure it will go more but don't know the limit.
