I just bought a set of AFR 205 off a sponsor. I ask for them to be milled down so i could have a 10.75 to 1 cr. I received them yesterday and they say they've be cut .030 on the box. That seems like alot to me. So what i need to know is what head gaskets to use to give me a pump gas friendly c/r.Or if they heads are milled too much for that and have to be returned.It is on a stock LS1 block with a TR 224/112.Also will the stock 7.4 pushrod be ok or will i need 7.35s.
Thanks,
Anthony

the OEM LS1 head gasket would enough but if you wanted a thicker one, go with the LS6 head gasket, it would be more than enough
the OEM LS1 head gasket will give you exactly 10.75:1
the OEM LS6 head gasket will be around 10.6:1

Actually, you're in luck. The AFR 205s are not as octane sensitive as stock heads of the same compression because of their superior combustion chamber design with the double quench pads. You can make lots of pump-gas-friendly hp with 11-1 compression. That's what I'm running!

Thanks for the replies!
Using that compression ratio chart i came up with 11.11 to 1 with a stock .054 gasket.And 11.38 to 1 on a .045. Is that correct?
And is 11.38 to 1 ok on pump? I can get 93 octane or if need be sunoco 94.
Thanks,
Anthony

Almost exactly what I got as well.
You will be fine with a good 93 octane and a good tune.

With a 61cc head, 3.960 .053 gasket I get 10.88-1, 3.960 .043 I get 11.17-1. I run 11.1-1 on 91 octane with 28 degrees timing and 0 knock. I would run the .043 gasket if it was me.

where do you get the 3.960?
Is that the bore size your using?
If so Why?

I am just using a 3.960 as the head gasket bore. It could be smaller, but it would not have a big change in static compression if you went down to say 3.930 with a .043 gasket it only goes to 11.18.

11.3 can be easily daily driven in any state that has 93 octane.
It is all in the tune.
I haven't even done a heads and cam package on a daily driver with less then 11.3 CR in the last year. There is just to much power, and gas milage in the added compression and we all run 93 octane anyways so might as well get the most out of our expensive *** gas.

If you are wanting a little bigger gasket you can get the standard replacement FelPro #9284 PT, these are what I use to deshroud the chambers on heads when I did them. The bore on them are 3.985 I think.
