It would be useful if you are running 87 octane or less.

dude, 3mm gasket with an 8psi pully would suck. You'd be slower than you were before... doing a 2mm with a 10psi pully seems fairly common, but dropping your CR to about 8.8 or 8.9:1 to run 8 pounds would be a bad move..

You don't need the gasket. If you are running 10lbs. or more I would say yes.
