i going to be running a pretty unique setup and was wondering if you guys could help me cover all the bases.
Current Mods: Tanabe full cat-back port/polished head and intake manifold 3 angle cut dual valve springs milled head Gude cams AEM cam gears
Coming soon: Star Stage 1 Apex-i Super AFC HKS turbo timer electronic Boost Controller (any suggestions?) egt gauge boost gauge air/fuel ratio thicker Head gasket (IF I CAN FIND ONE!!!!) afx pulley and Colder spark plugs right?
since my compression is pretty high, i'll only be boosting like 4 psi, but id like to push 6. I'm going to tame my cams as much as possible. Any suggestions on settings for them? What should i expect from my egt? I need all the tips and advice and anything else you guys can give me. I know to not run lean and not boost too high. I love you guys and any help would be appreciated.
Isaac
p.s. Stay safe on the streets. ALOTA crazy ass people.

I would recommend doing exactly what Joe A. did and get a thick headgasket (which you mentioned) to lower your compression. Yes, they are available. He also has the Gude package so you might want to speak with him. I know with lowering the compression by using the headgasket he has been able to run over 9psi well up to 12psi.
