difference using headgasket to lower compression instead of lower compression pistons ?
Just wondering, since I have 10:1 pistons and use the Inline Pro Headgasket which lowers my compression, will it make different power if I just had say 9:1 Pistons ?

The thicker than stock headgasket will alter cam timing in relation to the crank. You will need adjustable cam gears to compensate for this. The measurement is something like 1 deg per .012" added/removed.

I dunno yo...as long as you got stronger pistons and rings than stock and less than 10:1 comp with yo inline headgasket and tuning you should be straight. Ive got 8.8:1 JE comp yo.

Back to the topic, some people have told me 9:1 Compression pistons and stock headgasket will make more power than 10:1 pistons and an inline pro head gasket

nah yo just had about 15 cranberry vodkas (grey goose) right about now thats all hehe .... but i think your straight just get your block fixed and tune it. you probably got about 9:1 i would guess with dat headgasket right? do a compression test...Ive got 155 psi compression in cylinders so 8.8:1 approx for me....
