Default Turbo ITR -- thicker headgasket or stock CR?

Drag III kit on a 97 ITR,
0.3 bar Tial, J&S, AVC-R, Hondata ...

As much as I'd like to see what a "stock" (admittedly 100,000 mile) ITR motor would do under light to moderate amounts of boost (4-6 psi), I'd feel much safer with a thicker "turbo" headgasket .... so that I could run 91 octane in Cali, while still having a cushion to run a little more boost (with the right type of fuel).

Any comments and suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks Steve -- looks like it will be some time in the beginning of April, at my present rate.

Well, ... not necessarily for any extended period of time.

I just like to have the performance envelope pretty well mapped out in advance!
