Is it worth it to bump compresson up 0.2 ???
Ok, I did an estimated compression check on the c-speed site, planning on running a gsr with about 0.025 piston to deck, the difference between an OEM head gasket and a 2 layer one comes out to be 10.12 for OEM and 10.36 for 2 layer head gasket....
Would it be woth it to buy the Mugen or Spoon for the 0.2 bump? Is it safe to just run one layer gasket from the OEM one instead of three, because if I pick the 1 layer, the comp goes to 10.6....does any manufacturer make a 1 layer gasket?

a 0.1 bump in compression will theoretically give you a 1% power increase. The rest is up to you to decide whether it's worth it or not.
