greddy and cometic make thinner gaskets. usually ur looking at a maximum of .5" comp comps increasew with the thinnest gasket they make.

couldn't find any on ebay, only found one from spoon! and it said only increase compression for .2

compression doesn't convert to hp directly does it

how much would a .5 compression increase change hp?
