Tuning with jets, Power valves and an O2 guage

I'm just sitting here on the couch. From here I can see the car sitting out there in the workshop. I'm happy to see such consistant numbers in compression but ......
I see conflicting opinions on running a thicker head gasket to lower compression. Smart guys are on both sides of the arguement. I actually tried this back in 2006 when I was dealing with the same problem. I went with Cometic .060 gaskets and changed to a Comp XE285HL cam at the same time. This was in the Spring of 2006. I keep a notebook of what I do to the car, but I wasn't very specific about how the car ran afterwards. In a few pages, I wrote that the car ran great with NO detonation. I didn't do a compression check afterwards.
