Well who makes it and how thick can I go to get say....9.5 or maybe a little lower? Also If I get a thinker head gasket will the Timing cover still bolt on ok? Intake will be pulled apart also. If anyone has any good info please inform me.
Whats the max power I can push safely tuned at the wheel? 400whp? Where talking stock motor and a real safe tune under boost!

First off...your cobras motor is NOT made by honda. We dont use thicker head gaskets for lower compression. Second....a rear mounted turbo setup on that car is a bad idea. Rear mounted setups are garbage. Before you start making decisions and throwing parts onto it, just do a little research
