Default headgasket compression ratios

Well my all motor build has turned into wanting an extra 75-100hp so i started thinking about a low boost setup and now im weighing my options on lowering compression or doing a ton of research on making it safely tuned the only thing is here in hawaii all I got is 92 rated octane here in oahu. My goal is 300-325 on conservative tuning I always run the highest octane they have and that's what it is here. I'm not setting my goal on a specific lb of boost, my goal is to have that extra 75hp safely on my high compression build. I was also hoping since I want such a low gain I could get away with my current c/r ratio any thoughts?

I kno there is diff. Layer gaskets but is it a pre determined thickness that will I guess "guarantee" a compression drop?

The thicker the head gasket, the lower your compression will drop. I've read however, that the thicker the gasket, the better chance it will leak.
Search is your friend, I know this info is readily available

Good point about the leaking possibility. I will do some more researching or just plan to live with my current setup compression thank you.
