I have read that with their head gasket. You will be able to boost a stock h22 up to 400hp. I really doubt that, but just wondering if anyone has had any experience with this head gasket. ANd how much hp was you able to crank your motor up to.

So is this a or a

 

400 at the wheels is less about the gasket and more about block work. I remember coming across a thread a while back on this particular gasket, but I think it was for b series.. SEARCH. Read up on FAQ as well.

Thats the way i feel. I dont see how a head gasket can make your pistons, rods, and cylinder walls be able to handle up to 400 hp. Its just that they are claiming this, so i just want to see if anyone has tried it.

 

i've also heard of much praise about the InlinePro headgaskets but, i have never actually spoke with anyone about the tuning required and limitations that are set.

one question that i've always had is, are there any negative effects following the increase in quench distance with the thicker gasket?

One thing that i know for sure, is that gasket is super thick, so you will have serioiusly low compression.

 

I would never use gaskets to raise/lower compression. Just not worth cheaping out on. Build it right and it will last. period.

 

that's pretty much been my opinion on them. but, if they do work...how well? does the decrease in quench distance immediately tax the octane required to hold off detonation? it has to.

i just dont see how lowering your compression with a thicker gasket (increasing quench distance to an unacceptable amount) can not tax proper mixturing during compression. or at least make it problematic tuning.

if there's an increase in quench there will be a subsequent increase in endgas volume. that endgas having a natural tendancy to self-ignite if not kept to a minimum volume.

a good piston manufacturer keeps quench in mind when designing them. they keep them close to factory distance (sometimes less). EVERYONE building an engine or modifying stock chamber characteristics (pistons too) should have quench in mind.
