Abo Bob Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 It will help a little but ultimately at that kind of power level it doesn't take much for something to go, be it pistons valves or whatever. If you are one of those people who has that much power for bragging rights and rarely uses it then you may enjoy higher power for years but personally I can't see any point in having a powerful car if you are not going to use it properly.

Cazisk Posted June 14, 2005 Author Share Posted June 14, 2005 not really for bragging rights. i do take the car for occasional track use, drag, circuit, etc. i just want max power on stock internals, safely.

pkblade Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 A thicker headgasket will increase the boost threshold, alters the compression (reduces it I think) & I believe reduces some effects of detonation.

RB30-POWER Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 Thick gaskets and decompression plate are a bad idea. They alter the factory squish zones and can cause more detonation then having the factory compression ratio which may be higher. Be careful if you got that way.

Wazz Posted June 14, 2005 Share Posted June 14, 2005 is it really worth the 400 to bux or how ever much a decent MHG is wouldnt you rather go a set of forgies to know for sure that 300rwkw it will be safe Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/76866-headgasket/#findComment-1408520 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful if you got that way. lol can you explain to me what you mean by squish zone? and 300 buks or so for head gasket is a lot cheaper than getting forgies lol, it is all i can afford at the moment... may get forgies later on tho, will see how it goes...
