Will this change the compression, or will it stay stock?

Very pricey indeed...

Good for high cylinder pressures?

They'll seal better than the factory o-ring'd gaskets for boosted cars?

Are they reusable?

On a different note, have you looked into ARP or other high strength fasteners for the bottom end or head bolts?

yes these are good for high cylinder pressures. I need to find out what the stock ones are so i can see if they are same or thicker then stock, this will determine if it will slightly change compression. i already have ARP bolts and studs for the motor. we changed a few things in the head with ARP studs so this way it can hold more torque.

How much did the ARP stuff run you. Are they off the shelf parts or custom?

Is this some sort of group deal for it? Or will they only make them if we get enough people, because I'm not ready to do my major engine work. I'm waiting until next summer.
