Im finally finnishing up my 455 and before i bolt my heads on im curious what the opinions are for which head gasket i should use. I have two in hand, I can go with the thinner one and get 9.1 comp or the thicker and get 8.6( both rounded down). Im going to run a centrifugal supercharger and my idea was to run more comp and less boost at first and if the engine lives through a season ill go back through and build it to hold more boost/hp and go with the thicker head gasket/less comp.

I'd put it at 9:1. I'd leave it there with the blower too.

Anymore opinions on head gaskets? I've got one head where I'm happy with it and want to start bolting my engine together, I'm getting excited and running out of time.

I went with the thin ones for 9.1:1(rounded) comp. I have a few more questions for anyone that cares to share there opinion. I havent purchased a carb yet, I now what im getting but am unsure on cfm. Since im running it in a blow through application Idk how to size it, was just gonna go with a 750 but figured id get opinions. also for anyone thats familiar with centrifugal blowers, vortech v2's and procharger p1sc's seem to be in my price range, what are the opinions on which blower?
