Thumbs up Thicker gasket or not?

Hi guys, I wonder if I should put a thicker gasket to lower the compression with my setup...

Comptech with aftercooler and around 10 psi of boost.
I want to take my car to the dragstrip too...

Some guys says that I can leave it stock.
What do you think?
thanks

10 psi.... just leave it stock CR you should be able to handle as high as 13-14 psi on 93 octane.

Leave it stock and up the boost to 12-14PSI if you are looking for more power.
