go to www.optionsauto.com (i think) and look at their 4age head gaskets. it says the size and what it changes the compression to. I figured i'd shoot for no lower than 9:1 and I think stock gaskets are 1.0 mm, so 1.8 should have you up some from 8.5:1
i need a 3sgte head gasket don't i
don't i want something in the mid 8's if i want to run high boost
so why no lower than 9:1
