Default Boosted 99'civic si @ 6.5 psi, which head gasket could I use to up the boost?

I want to run it at 9 psi. It has dsm 450s, walboro 255 in tank pump, and Apexi Vafc. Which head gasket do I use to lower my compression enough to make it safer? Thanks in advance.

dude, you can run 9 psi on stock compression, i have a boosted 00 si and i was boosting over 12 lbs. with no problems for a while.

you can probably do 12-15 psi safely with good tuning. tuning is where its at. but if i were u 10 psi with good tuning should be good

his clutch wouldnt handle it.
he couldnt spin the tires in the grass!
moral of the story,
STOCK SUCKS

but yeah, 10lbs and some tuning will be the way to go.

Kevin, that car is completely HOMO!

You need to dump that ---- and go back and get another integra, those are at least half-way manly (I should know, I gots a 2g rs). Or you just need to sell that car for one of those new mini coopers, or maybe a turbonium vw beetle.. ***

I know what you're about to say too.. something like "---- it, if the new civic si's are gay, you can call me diggy the butt miner!"

If anyone else was driving that car it wouldn't be an issue, but only you are gay behind the wheel. LOL
