Headgasket Question.....(Not how to Install)
First off my bottom end consists of B16a with JE 10.5:1's, Eagle H Beams, block is sealed, head studs, balanced....all that good stuff. I'm putting a Garrett T3/T04e 57 trim .63 a/r on it next week. I talked to a few of my VW buddies and they told me about stacking head gaskets to drop compression; ie. (factory metal, copper, factory metal). Is this possible on a Honda?? If so then if I do the FM, Copper, FM; will I still have to O-Ring the head. Thanks for any and all help.

Yeah it wont seal right if you stack stock ones
EDIT: What are you using for fuel management for your project?

Well fuel managment is going to be done my friend Steven (SpeedPhreak).
We are trailering the car to a dyno and and he is writing me a honda program to read pressure and to run the 450 cc's I'm using. I trust him with my car, therefore I trust him with my life.... For any future tuning I have a wideband for montoring.
