I'd be happy with 200bhp on a safe 7psi. Might be a tad optimistic.
Want it to be reliable enough that it starts and runs every time, a few times a week. Just want it to be good fun, I'm not trying to push it or blow it up.
I've spoken to a few people and apparently running double gaskets on a n/a set up (just to get it on the road and find any other little niggles) will wreak havoc on the engine. I understand it will lower compression a tad but wasn't too sure how much it would effect it in the meantime until its all built.
I know the proper way to do it is decomp plate, I was just trying to save wasting a headgasket and having to buy a second set of headbolts!
