I just ordered the 57 trim ct 26 from driftmotion to replace my stock one with blown seals. I'm also doing a hg tbelt etc.my motor Is fairly stock Other than a dp and upgraded fm. I plan on running stock boost and injectors for now but I'd like make around 350 hp with more boost eventually tho. I'm thinking a thicker gasket= less compression=more boost? What brands best and which thickness would be good for my plans? I appreciate your help guys!

Stock hg. Unless both the block and head are machined then get a mhg. If not stock.

Lower compression more boost = higher compression less boost.

Sort of. You'll hit fc alot quicker tho.

Edit.I run 57 on stock fuel. If you want more power you need more supporting mods/

Felpro is a stock style. It will work fine and is about as low as you want to go. If you dont have the money for the felpro dont even bother. Ive used it twice on 2 different motors and neither had a problem after.

Sweet looks like ol stocker for me, thanks for your input. Which brand would you use if it were your car?

I used felpro but only cause i had to keep it on the road. Im havent builded for high hp. Just my dd. Felpros are really bad either there just cheaper but there made right. Oem toyota is the best composite gasket tho.
