Project GSR Update
We just got the largest Cometic Headgasket available by cometic (they just released it!). it's supposed to drop your compression on your GSR by about 2 POINTS!
Check out the pictures. We are also installing a Race Engineering Block guard. We plan to run 14psi on the stock GSR motor. This is going on our project GSR which can be found here:

If anyone wants these, we have them available, but they will be special order. We can usually get them in about a week. The headgasket would be $199.99, and the Block guard is $144.99

But isn't the spoon or mugen 2ply headgasket only about $130-140. And they drop compression by like .3-.4 points. Nice block guard though.</TD></TR></TABLE>
The Spoon and Mugen gaskets are designed to increase compression by ~0.3:1 (mainly for N/A motors). This gasket is designed to lower compression by a considerable amount, with forced-induction as the obvious intended application.
However, on a high-powered turbo setup where such low compression would be desirable, I'd personally be more comfortable lowering the compression via pistons rather than using an exceptionally thick head gasket. By the looks of it though, it actually appears to be something of a "miniature deck plate" rather than just a gasket, which might be why the cost is a bit higher.

Re: Project GSR Update (Padawan)
Dude, that HG is awesome! Two whole points of compression, with a simple gasket is just nuts! Now you can "cheat" and have low C/R like the stock LS engine, but still retain vtec. Sweet.
