Impossible to say. What CR are you running, how much boost are you going to run? On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

Standard compression ratio is 9.4-1, if you get a BK450 from the "good batch" they've been proven 25psi+. |

Mini's aren't Skylines, you can't easily go out and buy a thicker head gasket. On 7th Nov, 2008 Nic said:

How good the MLS stainless gaskets are though I do not know.... Mr. Prawn, the friendly Crustacean- slowly making steps towards forced induction. |

Hence why I said "easily", how many people do you know have lowered their CR this way over dished pistons or modified chambers?

I have done in the past, but only on a NA engine that accidentally ended out with too high a CR, until another head could be sorted out.

Interesting observation, have been discussing getting a 1/8 one made. But you seem to think this is not the best way forward. Own the day

Try putting some washers on the head studs before you fit the head! This will lower your compression 1/4 Mile 14.3secs 96Mph Terminal 10psi of boost.
