Stock head gasket will work just fine, if you have a larger bore, then pick up a modified stock head gasket from Golden Eagle. They also copper spray the HG's they send out!

I would forgo the crank, and run cp pistons, and eagle rods. Cometic gaskets have always worked well for me. You can make up for a smaller discplacement with more boost, and a proper tune. Basically, don't spend more than you have to.

Well i already have the pistons, crank, and rods i just figured that since the bottom end is low compression the head would have to be to but with the low compression head gasket what would be a safe psi to run?

Run a stock sized headgasket, your cr ratio is fine, and you should be able to boost as much as your turbo can produce.(as long your tuner is comfortable with it). What stroke is your crank? I'm running a 95mm eagle crank in my gsr. You or your engine builder will probably have to notch the bottom of your cylinders to give clearence for your rods, you might also have to remove your oil jets, and weld shut to allow clearence for the new crank.
