[QUOTE="kennethfong, post: 2307130, member: 4371"] fren if ur talking bout the thicker than usual metal head gasket, that'll reduce ur compression ratio rather than increasing it which is EXTREMELY bad for NA engines.... the reason ppl put thicker gasket is to reduce the compression ratio so that a higher boost level can be obtained SAFELY without blowing the engine, but do you have a turbine or supercharger? think again why do u need a thicker gasket if ur never gonna get a positive boost? for NA engine, u need to increase ur compression ratio and not reducing it, if that's case than u r downgrading ur engine and not upgrading it, hope u understand the basics of what u gonna mod before modding and regret.... anyway this advice is only applicable if u install THICKER metal gasket than ur original ones..... sorry if this advice is a bit harsh, but good medicine is always bitter.... other ways to increase compression ratio is to skim ur head, getting a high compression pistons.... that will definitely get u MORE POWER....
