Anyone having any issues running the stock head gasket other than just running a low amount of boost? Anyone making 400whp on stock head gasket? I'm not planning on going with the 3mm head gasket on my setup and was trying to find some other people running with out it. Thanks!

Sideways and Enthralled you gentleman are right..
I should just get the kit and get used to the power and learn how to drive my Sandy first before i start thinking of upping the power.
Heck, there are times every once and awhile i get caught a Little offguard from her. But she seems to forgive me every time, and i learn from those moments to prevent the same situation again.
I just have a question for the SC guys. Now.. If you put a 3 mm HG... that decreases compression right? that means you lose HP. which in turn means you have to uppity the Boost in order to get it back. But if you just kept the HG in the first place, you woudlnt lose compression.
But i think i understand that lowering the compression with a HG, you can put even MORE boost than a stock HG correct?
I'm clueless with SC.. i'm a turbo guy but i think the concept of the boost is the same.
