ok i have read that the 4age head gasket fits a 7afe so i would like to know if i use a set of 4agze pistons with a 2mm head gasket will i be ok for 10-12psi of boost or will the gze pistons raise the compression to much even with the 2mm steel gasket just need some input befor i buy parts i dont need thanks guys

because 7afe pistons are right about even with the head..you're more likely to fry pistons and rings on a boosted 7afe then you are to fry a head?

but when you raise the compression, your going to be more likely to get detonation that would in turn kill your ring, pistons, head gasket. the preventive maintenance could end up causing more problems.

you probably stand to gain more power by ditching the crude safc tune, and spending some of that money on a better ecu. then, if/when something breaks, go in there and upgrade it .
