With a 3mm head gasket and a good tune, I'm running 21psi. No problems so far (knock on wood)

the 3mm and some of the 2mm gaskets out on the market DO NOT seal properly, so i would advise to becareful with them and check your coolant levels.
The 3mm we designed are different than the ones offered from other places. Our 3mm has handled 25psi on the stock bottom end with both race gas AND pump gas.

Are you guys going to offer a 2mm version of your HG? I don't want to have to realign my cam gears if I don't have to.
Will a 2mm HG get me to the same whp in the end as a 3mm HG if assuming both are at say 19:1 total engine compression after boost or would the 3mm be better?
Thanks
