Message	I currently have 2.00mm headgaskets and have a compression of 125-130. I was thinking of running higher boost on pump gas but this is too low and my driveability has gone down the drain. I want to make the TD06's a bit more fun on the street and help the lag. I was thinking about running 1.00mm headgaskets instead. What would my new compression be with those and you think its a smart move? Just wondering what you would do since you and Damon have had good experience with Z's. Thanks. :I'd rather have useful power then max power. :and at 9.2:1, cheap sport 500s become TD-06s on crack. :
