I changed from the 3 peice 1.5 mm head gasket to a .25 gasket.. squish is now at .46.6. had 210 lbs. compression. is my squish in a good range ? and about how much more compression should I see.

the recommended min. is around .038" or so. i try to stay above that. if you had 210 prior to the gasket change i would imagine that your going to be at least 230. mighty stout :D

so my squish is good.. I was shooting for 235 on compression so that's good. I just don't want it over 240.. it should rip pretty good then.. wasn't to bad before

More comp= more grunt
Less comp=more rpm's

cool.. so I will be shifting more or should I say sooner. would this be good in the dunes.. and would I be better off switching to a 13/38 from my now 13/39
