headgasket questions
headgasket questions hypothetically, if my head gaskets blew out and i had to replace them, and i decided to go with the impala gaskets, would i need to retune since its bumping up the cr?
i know, i'd think get an answer by now. im curious because if it nets a few hp, a repair could turn into a possible modding opportunity 
but i want to see if the tune would be off because... you know, those tuning things are goofy.

If you went with the Victor Reinz .026" head gaskets it should (in theory) increase the motors resistance to detonation. The better quench is really more usefull than the higher static compression ratio. (they are both good to have so it's a win-win).
I don't think you would need a re-tune.
