How much of a compression drop can I get...

Like lets say from a thicker head gasket. Right now I have 9.3:1 it seems. How much would a thicker head gasket drop it? O_o

Why would you want to go with a thicker gasket than stock?

go to www.download.com and type in compression calculator, I think you can get it from there, a trial version anyways, it's helped me out..

Just saw a post about you adding boost to the car, nm with my first question there.
