Default which head gasket for my boosted D?

there's so many options out there, i don't know which one of these is going to fit like OEM, but perform better?? i don't want a change in my stock compression or anything. just want to slap on a good performance gasket and be on my way..

I'd just use an oem gasket, along with some good ARP head studs. you should be fine

I'd have to agree. I've got sleeved 84mm LS/VTEC running 18psi with an OEM 84mm head gasket and a set of ARP studs. Haven't expierenced any problems. In fact. the shop I do business with insists that when it comes to gaskets and seals, OEM Honda is the way to go.

OEM for sure. I have an OEM HG in my y7 at 10 psi, well over 15k miles on it since being boosted and not a single problem!

Yup...stick with the OEM headgasket. Three boosted single-cam setups for me and ZERO complaints here!
