im about to get my car tuned in about a week or so. currently have a base map for the 3 hour drive to the tuner. I've heard mixed stories about needing a head gasket or not. i am aware that it will lower my compression which will make my motor safer while under boost but at my goal (420hp) will it be necessary? if anyone has had any experience with a similar set up as mine let me know. thanks.


Setup:
pfab top log manifold

aem v2 ems

godspeed intercooler and piping

Tial 44mm wastegate

Godspeed BOV (just for now)

Garrett Gt3076r

Rc 750cc Injectors

 

Stock HG will be fine, especially at that power level.

 

People have had nothing but problems with aftermarket headgaskets... Id stay away from them at all costs

 

Stick with stock hg.

 

lots of guys use two of them. Theres a few guys making 1000whp on 6mm spacers.

 

Guys that double stack head gasket usually dedicated track car and dont care how many passes it makes down track.... Since they always tearing shit down... Id stick oem on daily drive esp for your power goal....

 

And me and sata been making 400+ whp on stock head gasket without a issue
