Feel like providing any details on why you say this?
your gonna need to tune it pretty well to run the stock head gasket with 9psi... in order to run it with no problems. more boost with stock compression? I'd assume get a thicker headgasket just to be safe.

I am going to sound ignorant here, but 3mm head gasket, or roughly 0.077 inches will decrease compression from 11 to 8.5?
Does the install need anything special done to the head or block to accept the stainless steel gasket? Or do you just use regular headgasket sealer?
Also, how does this change effect the cams, and timing chain?
