Inlinepro, Cometic, GReddy, HKS.. so many gaskets to choose from, is there any 1 favorite among you power makers?

Mind you this is for an otherwise stock GSR, looking for a mild output of around 300whp @ say 12-14psi. I figure I'll go with the gasket and ARP hardware along with a T3/T04E 60-trim, so what seems to be the gasket of choice?

 

OEM - nothin' better

 

hmmm how about stock head gasket.

 

No reason to use anything but a stock gasket unless you're over 81.5mm

 

Well, my intent was to lower the compression a touch

 

im using an inline pro 3mm gasket (arp headstuds too) lowers comp. ~1pt

 

stock

and how will a stock gasket lower compression Like he said he wants one that will lower compression...Inline pro gaskets are high quality

 

Well, technically you are on the East coast... so that means you'll have great luck with the InlinePro headgasket. It will lower you down a full point, to like 8.9:1 and you'll pull 10's & 11's with a stock block.

But if you were on the West Coast.... it'd just never work.

It's a good piece, just make sure to get adjustable cam gears and ARP head studs to go along with it. You'll need to adjust the cam gears because the gasket will throw off timing a bit.


Personally I'd go with a stock HG and enjoy the 10:1 compression, because with such a small turbo(you're running the greddy kit, right?) you'll never see the benefit of running such low compression. Just my $.02...

Actually, it's a revhard with a small T3, but that's being changed in time to a T3/T04E hence the desire to drop compression a touch. Thanks
