Not when c16 is 3X the cost of 93 octane.

That's not too bad if you don't fill up the tank all the time.
With a tank of petrol my lead foot get me
-500+km for stock
-400+km with a vortech sc and stock engine
-200+km with a built engine (decompressed) + turbo

With this rough estimate, you are probably looking at 1.5-2x more for the cost of petrol with a decompressed engine.

If you ask me which method I would prefer, then I would choose a full rebuild with stroker kit and a turbo....but then again I don't look at my petrol bill The honda is still my most fuel efficient toy compare to the other 2

I am boosting 20psi on the stock head gasket too. The engine is decompressed with pistons though.
The stock head gasket is made of very good quality

alright but i guess to be on the safe side im going to go with the headgasket mod. but the two turbo kits that im interested in is lovefab and inline pro. i know that this has been beat on like numerous times and i know the comparrision of the two. my question is that did cody at lovefabs customer service get better or is it still the same. cause ive heard some horror storys of the gt1 kit and have heard nothing about the gt2.
