Default How much compresion can a stock B16 head hold?

I was thinking about strocking my b16 with a Toda stroker kit which brings it up to about 11.0:1 with stock head gasket, how much more can it handle?
I'm asking because I want to add a turbo later, I know I can us a low compression
gasket to help but how much more can it handle?

Pass on the stroker kit if you plan on boosting it, unless your pockets are bigger than the grand canyon.

How much is sleeving and a deckplate? If the cost of those two plus a B18 crank and rods is less than $2400, that's another option.
