MLS Head Gasket

[Da_omen]

For an M50 engine, is it possible to get a MLS Gasket for VANOS and cut it down for a Non Vanos engine? or dont even attempt it? As i know someone with one offering it for a decent price...

Whats your HP goal, if your compression is at 10:1 (nonvanos?) I say try boosting it with the stock headgasket first

I want to try and boost to about 15 psi for now, until i get pistons and rods done... i hear the internals can handle it..

Again......I'll insert my warning....start low until your tuned, then increase in small incraments. rememeber that you can blow up a stock motor with 6 psi just as easy as with 15 psi. Dont just set a boost pressure goal, set a power goal, then only boost what is needed to reach it. My turbos can reach 25 psi easy, but I run only 15 psi because thats all 93 pump gas can handle with the timing I run to achieve the power I feel I need. Timing=power, I ran 20 psi on pump gas retarding timing, but the result was a slower car than 15 psi and 5 degrees added.

Idealy i want 300-350 rwhp, from what i hear on the forums 15psi is about on par to reach my goal...

Where is the best place to get one of these MSL head gaskets for a 92 2.5L Non Vanos?

Can people list sites if they know...
