head gasket/comp ratio help

[93bird]

Ok so about a month ago I posted the specs for my new 383 nitrous motor with 11.2:1 com ratio, and most of you said it was a bit low. I was wondering if a thiner head gasket would help. T.E.A. recomended a cometic gasket bore 4.110 compressed thickness .036 I found one that is bore 4.100 compressed .027. Would this work and how much would it boost the comp ratio....

Put your specs in here and see what it comes to.

I'm not a nitrous guy but what's wrong with 11.2 compression? That's about where I'm running.

If this isn't a max effort build, youre not leaving a whole lot on the table. If its already built just go with it.

The heads are not on, and I don't have head gaskets yet. I was just wondering if the thiner gaskt would help but it will only raise it to 11.48:1

What's your quench at? You'll want to keep that tight. But no less than .035" just make sure to check PTV clearance.
