Cometic 0.120" Head Gasket!
We just got the largest Cometic Headgasket available by cometic (they just released it!). It's supposed to drop your compression on your GSR by about 2 POINTS!
Cometic 0.120" Head Gasket. This thing is super thick! Perfect for your Turbo application.
I also picked up some ARP Head Studs and a Race Engineering Block Guard.
The guy's at Cometic shipped us this Prototype Head Gasket and told us they've been running this Head Gasket and block guards on their Turbo GSR with stock block at 14lbs all day everyday without no problems.
Should put the compression lower than an Integra LS and still retain Vtec.
A couple more things, then the GSR should be boosted.

It's not. It's a special order and we can get get them for $199.99. Takes about a week or so.
It puts the Compression Ratio down to like a DSM. I wouldn't have to worry about blowing a head gasket with this bad boy.

A gasket that thick will definitely throw the timing off, I know of people running the .90 that have had to do cam gear adjustments after the install.
This is still the cheapest way of lowing the compression and making great power so I support the idea.

1 degree for every .012" of change from stock.
BTW, that .120" gasket has been around for a long time. I've seen it for as little as $100
