Default Why use online pro head gasket
Can someone tell me the difference between inlinepro vs a cheaper 3 mm head gasket?

Use OEM unless your block is an unusual bore diameter. Thats my best advice.

agreed. all they did was re-brand an oem fel-pro or cometic gasket. you can make an oem gasket 2mm, just remove a layer of metal.

you'd probably be better off with a thicker gasket from someone like cometic or golden eagle

Ive been running an inline pro 3mm headgasket now for 3 seasons without issue. Car is making 350whp on 12psi. All its doing is lowering the c/r a bit to make it safer. Works good.

just keep the stock gasket in there, 3mm gasket is just not necessary.

Stock OEM gasket. no need to crack the cylinder head on the S2K. Your compression is fine for boost, contrary to "old school" belief just make sure you have the right equipment, and a good tuner.
