Use the .028 gasket with the heads shaved .060. Make sure you shave the intake side .057. Should put you close to 9 to 1 comp. HP mopar did a build years ago called budget 360. It was 9 to 1 engine, ported smog heads with 1.88 1.6 valves, summit racing 218in. 228ex. at .050 .441 lift on both and 114 lsa. rpm intake and 750 holley. Put it in a 73 challenger with 1 5/8 headers 3500 stall and 3.55s. Car ran 12.60s in the 1/4 mile. Very impressive and very cheap. I think they figured about 340 HP.

Awesome! I like those figures. :D

I read somewhere else on here that you can shave .060" off the Heads and nothing off the intake faces and not have any sealing issues, but I think that was with a .040" Gasket. Works on my 340 as thats what I have on there. But think I might be pushing it with a .028" Gasket. But while they are in the shop getting the .060" off I might as well.
