Head gasket thickness for boosted ls/vtec
After searching around I was wondering what is the best type of head gasket and thickness for this kind of setup. I have heard good things about cometic but also about oem Honda. The motor is 81.5mm bore So I was going to go with the 81.5 mm cometic gasket but then i saw that it comes in diff. thicknesses. What is better .30 or .51 if anyone has any experience with this please help me out and also feel free to add what HG you are running.
Setup.
B18a1 block
Block bored 81.5 mm
GSR head
Wiseco or JE 9.0:1 pistons
93 octane 15 psi

stock oem gasket is an MLS gasket and works great, do not buy a cometic gasket please!!!
