Is there any noticeable power gain by using one of Vito's High Compression Head Gaskets? Does it put more strain on a stock blaster engine and would I have to use a higher octane gas?
just dont do it. those high compression gaskets are just super thing gaskets it barely increases the compression. and it just increases the risk of the gasket blowing. just save ur money and get the head shaved and the cylinder ported
they generally will up your compression by about 10psi. i've run one with a cut head before i had the dome shape actually modified, never had an issue with them leaking. it's cheaper but it will not give the same results as a modified head
