7afe head gasket, copper head gaskets Options

[95celicastLSR]

so i have ordered and all ready received the HP engine kit from importperformanceparts.net with forged pistons and the whole nine yards with stock compression ratio , my question to you is i am building the engine for boost and using the copper head gasket will that lower my compression ratio ?? its for a 95 st (7afe) . . . . .. when i am ready to build i will start a new topic and post how it turns out as i dont know anyone on here using this kit for the 7afe..... Thanks Lance

i built my 7a when my celica was a st, and it was nasty:) but it over heated and made the alum. rings blow out/melt:( and ur comp. ratio should not change.

i see well something ill have to keep an eye on but i plan on running the fans 24/7 plus i took out the high beams to make ram air plus lower engine bay temps ... how nasty was it like first im running low boost till i get it tuned with AEM F/IG* controler then im going to run around 12-14psi tops ??? what parts did you use to build ??
