thickest y8 head gasket?
What's the thickest head gasket I can safely use on a d16y8 running 9-11lbs? I'm trying to lower the cr as much as possible.

I'll have arp head studs, and I'll get a tune immediately after finishing my boost project. My problem is that the motor was already built for high comp. The srp pistons alone yield a 10.5:1 cr with the oem gasket. Right now, it has a thinner cometic head gasket, bring the cr to nearly 11.0:1. I don't think I wanna run 9-11lbs of boost with that, or even the 10.5:1 cr I would get with an oem gasket, no matter what kind of tune I get. I live in CA, highest octane fuel I can get at the pump is 91!

look at b-series tard they run 10:1 to 11:1 compression stock cast internals without problems. You have upgraded internals, and aren't going to compromise on tuning i hope.

that just means youll need less boost to hit your goals. Your first mistake is saying you want o run 9-11psi that means pretty much dick without the turbo youll be using, its all about cfm.
