    alright so i have an n/a gp now i read what i have to do in order to top swap but my question is about the head.. i know u have to swap the head in order to lower the compression but if the case is just lowering the compression can't i just put a thicker head gasket? thats what i did when i went turbo wit my last car.. any help is greatly appreciated.

    Swapping the head does not lower compression. The supercharged engines have the injector holes in the head not the lim that is why you need the supercharged heads.

    the heads dont lower compression. For that you would have to tear motor apart and replace the pistons
