?'s about lowering compression I want to lower the compression a little on my 01 ws6 (bolt ons lid,headers) to run my phamspeed turbo kit I got. would It better to to install comtec head gaskets or 6.0 liter heads? I'm hoping to get compression anywhere from 8.5:1- 9.5:1 any suggestions would be very helpful
If you get stock 317 casting 6.0 heads and the GM MLS gasket it will lower the CR to 9.2-9.5 area. To go lower then that ya have to use different pistons to get the desired CR. GL man.

depending on the chamber size (if it was milled down or not) it will be 9.8-9.5:1
you can use a thicker gasket like a .067 that will get you down to about 9.2 with the heads.

BTW, those coil packs in your sig. They are the one-piece bracket, will they work on my car being a '98?

the GM 6.0 MLS gasket is pretty much the same constructionto the cometic (lest i think) but with the cometic you have different thickness where as the GM one you do dont.
if you dont need a certain thickness get the GM one as its cheaper and some say it seals better
going to try and work on my car about every day in hopes of getting it done before the TA nats (but history shows i almost never get it done.)
I got to put my tranny back in (need to get my clutch back first), install my master, bolt on my accesories and radiator, bolt up my turbokit, mount my IC 9which needs to here here) order and make my IC piping then put on my bumper and fender.
almost any date is good
