i am running a 98 ls. i have the head off and i was wondering if i should use a stock honda gasket which leaves the compression ratio at 9.2.1 or should i use a cometic on which leaves it at 9.0.1. and waht else do i need to run 8 pounds of boost daily. safely. can it be done on stock internals and still be able to get good life out of the motor.

 

Stick with the stock gasket. Lowering your compression .2 isn't going to affect much at only 8lbs of boost, besides the Honda gaskets are better. IMO

 

thanks do u have any other tips on how to make it very reliable
