also, w/ using a thicker head gasket could i still run the same PSI w/ a Si kit on a CTR? to solve the issue of the higher compression?
he must be talkin about FI b/c of this post
even on an SI (b16a2) you will want to run a thicker headgasket if you plan on running more boost than that stock kit setup. & sonce the CTR engine has even higher compression, so you would want to use a thicker headgasket to run FI.
the CTR & ITR engines gain more power from higher compression, but also by using higher lift/duration cams. these cams are better for an FI setup, but must be tuned for an FI setup, as opposed to a N/A setup (read:minimize overlap for the FI setup)
