Stock Block 650hp - Head Gasket Thickness

[Mikey]

On my way to pushing the stock block to 650hp, Anybody know if Grade C Head Gaskets would help my cause over putting in the Grade B the engine called for. Anybody know what the difference might be or am I just wasting my time. I plan to run an S475 over my stock LBZ Turbo in a compound setup.

Grade c gaskets are thicker... Not sure on the exact thickness of them tho.

grade c would be an improvement but not worth the time if your only shooting for 650hp...

Ask Henry (ripmf666) he would have a good idea

I already have the Grade C's. Should I go ahead and put them in. The heads are ready to be re-installed.

Any Ideal What the compression would drop to from 16.8:1?

oh well if the heads are off already just use the C's. really wont help or hurt one way or the other though really. If you decked the heads will just provide a little more clearance.
