The LS has good compression already.

Plus, the stock headgasket (as long as you didn't blow it already) should be strong enought for 12psi.

Check the Forced Induction forum in the future.

That is of course where all the boost junkies hang out.

Like stated above, the stock Honda head gasket is adequate for a certain amount of boost but if you want to upgrade try using COMETICS MLS head gasket. I have that on my setup and have no complaints about it.
