Why do you say that? you can hit 300 hp on this kit on the stock headgasket doing 9-10psi. With a thicker head gasket, you'd have to increase the boost to stay at 300whp. So i'm pretty sure he's running over 8-10psi...

There might be old articles about the car commenting on the original build...

i meant he's probably running 8-10 psi, because he'd have more then 300 whp if it was any higher.
example: 10psi on stock compression vs. 10psi on lowered compression....doesn't equal the same hp.
You have to increase the boost to make up the power. If he's hitting 300whp with a thicker than stock headgasket, he is likely running higher boost. Like Asura said, upwards of 15psi. I think i might have even heard Gary say somewhere between 20-25psi, but i can't remember for sure. The advantage to running a head gasket is lowered compression to lessen the stress on the motor.
