Ok. And y ditch the 3mm?
It's horrible for the s2k and not needed at all. Stock block can support up to 500ishwhp pump gas. That hg makes everything worse. No upside.
Agreed. 95% of the turbo setups I read up on that had the 3mm headgasket had nothing but problems with it. When Real Street was making 800hp on the stock block/head gasket, it proved the 3mm is a waste of time and just gives room for potential headaches. If you want extra security, get a new OEM gasket and talk to Full Blown about these h11/L19 headstuds
Supertech will be plenty for your power goals with some room to grow. Just realized that your avatar picture is a picture my buddy took of Casey's car before he sold it, lol.
You never go 3mm head gasket just like you never go full retard. Using a thicker gasket is a bandaid to get around building a lower compression engine or using better fuel.
