i am wondering what some of you guys are running as far as headgasket thickness and bore? and how it has affected your engines performance with the type of setup up you have(ie. turbo, psi, all that purtains to why you went with the size of headgasket you have). thanks.

Apexi 86mm bore 1.1mm thickness.

The best headgasket ever. I would not trust my engine with anything but Apexi HG.

I heard SR20DE is .8mm, SR20DET is 1.0 or 1.1mm.

It'll be pushing close to 500rwhp. I'll have the dyno numbers by November for a conservative tune on account of the fresh build. After I break it in I'll go back and get it tuned more.
