SignUp Now!They varying thicknesses are for more than just dropping compression. If the heads and decks are machined, and you want to maintain the stock compression ration, then a thicker set of gaskets would be needed. To compensate for the removed material. Or even to aid in a little extra room for valve relief. If just adding thickness to attain a lower compression ratio, then the math would need to be done to make sure the proper thickness is used to achieve that ratio, and not a undesired or unknown ratio.
Yea I wouldn't get a thicker head gasket if not needed
Stiffer valve springs are a worthy upgrade, if you are in there, and plan on turning up the boost. It will prevent valve float. If you did happen to buy cams, with more lift, upgraded valve springs are REQUIRED. Rob tested that with his set. Turning the cams by hand deformed the OEM springs and they would not return to full height.
