OK the TRX stocker is 0.048 to 0.050" too fricken thick, and the CR 3 layer that you guys use is too fricken thin, 180 lbs or more to need race rule, I have used the ATC250r gasket it was 0.035" thick.

What is Stock Compression??
I would like to shoot for 175ish for now. thinking a copper 020" gasket any one make em?

If 175lbs of compression is all your thinking about then any of the thick gaskets will do.
Performance wise 175 is low enough to not even think about, just throw a gasket in & go.
When your thinking of performance on a 250R engine, any compression amount over 190 is when you should have some consern.
