10:1 is not too high if you run the right octane and have a good tune. but yes a thicker headgasket will help lower it.

MugenManR

i rather be safe then sorry, who sells thicker head gaskets.

Cometic

go to ebay and buy a namebrand one

MugenManR

about how much will it cost. and do i have to prep the head and block for it. and whie the head is off waht other lil things can i do to increase stablily and a bit of performance

sal

Usually around $80-$100. Since the head is off it wont hurt to get it milled to ensure that its perfectly flat to get the best seal. Then again that will bring your compression up slightly so you might not want to.

no_rice_please

just get it tuned right and it should be fine

10:1 is fine to boost...

MugenManR

so 10:1 is good to run 6-7lbs of boost. on stock eveything.

sal

If its tuned, yes thats fine.

MugenManR

ok thank you all.

you can run ALOT higher boost than that... if it was built..

i could do a mild buid. any sugestion on what i could do.

sal

Forged pistons and rods would help out quite a bit.

MugenManR

how much would that go for?
