need head gasket for 2.3 ltr engine, HELP!

I am in need of an head gsaket for the 2.3 ltr engine. I want a thinner gasket to get a bit more power out. Is there something like that available?

When not, whats about milling the head and put on adjustable cam gears. How high should I go with the cr? btw: whats the cr of that 2.3 ltr engine.

Please help me on those questions, it is for an friend of mine.

It's funny people buy these spoon headgaskets, when you can just modify a stock head gasket so it's thinner

Anything special you do to modify a stock one?

You want a thinner head gasket? I got a THICKER one from INLINE PRO, but I'm sure even if they don't have a thinner one, they can make you one.

cometic has slightly thinner gaskets off the shelf. they might be able to make you an even thinner one... but really i don't know if they would recommend a .02" head gasket. i had a .028 and had no problems.
