what headgaskets?
what headgaskets? i purchased the full srp gasket kit off summit for 175. but my question is will the head gaskets in this kit support 12.3 to 1 compression and atleast 200hp shot of no2?
if it wont then what head gasket would you recomend?

What is the thickness and bore size of those SRP Head gaskets? Have a part number?
If you wanna get high compression you need a thin head gasket with smaller bore size. Cometic can custom make a .027 thickness head gasket with your bore size such as mine would be 4.040, but they cost about 100 each...
Mr. Gasket is the brand I used because they are the next best and ALOT cheaper. Mr. Gasket has the smallest pre-made with .026 thickness, 4.100 bore size...

im not sure what the part number is, i am more or less just looking for what headgasket will hold up to high compression and nitrous on my 383. i ran the mr gasket on my stocck bottom end and it worked good but i dont know if they will hold nitrous or not
You're talking about gasket thickness in the thousandths of an inch, which translates into SCR in the hundredths of an inch. There is no measurable performance difference in dynamic compression from a .026 to a .027 gasket.
Fact is, either one of those gaskets will work fine. Stop worrying about your static compression also as it means jack squat.
FWIW, I use the Impala gaskets at .028". Tried and true.

since its a 383, i'm assuming his deck height will be different than stock, and not have the pistons .020 in the hole. I'd say this is pretty crucial when selecting a head gasket, can't have the quench too tight. my pistons are .007 out of the hold, with a .040 compressed MLS Gasket 4.100 bore. Don't want your quench much tighter than that...

how do you know you're compression ratio without knowing deck height and gasket thickness, assuming you know what your piston dish/dome volume is and chamber cc... deck height dictates gasket thickness to acheive the correct quench, which is CRUCIAL when running high compression on pump gas. A cometic gasket is the best for nitrous, but your heads and block better be perfectly flat, you can order them any thickness you want, but they're kinda spendy.
yeas i ccan get get the piston and deck height i need to set my compression ratio and quench where i want it. i just needed to know what gasket i needed before i could figure that out. would the mr gasket gaskets work? i really liked them and lloyd recomended them to me for my head and cam package on the stock motor
i can do that to, by wat u guys are saying any headgasket will work for high compression and 200+ nitrous? if thats the case then it will make things alot easier, i just find that hard to belive
