Thicker head gasket for LE5 cars and more boost?

I remember reading about you guys offering a thicker head gasket, and better studs for the LE5 powered solstice guys somewhere. Are there any plans on making this type of upgrade availible for the FWD LE5 cars? It dropped the compression down to the low 9's if I remember correctly. Is that a reliable "pump gas/daily driver" set-up? I know that the bottom end can handle a beating even though the motor has pretty high compression (for a turbo motor anyways), but what about that head gasket......can you run 300WHP (or more) on the street with the S20G on 91 octane? I was just wondering....seems like with that set-up someone would need a grin-ectamy....if you know what I mean.....

if it will fit the head of the solstice, it'll fit the balt, but it would have to be a thick ass gasket to drop it THAT much.

not to mention that is kind of a backwoods way of dropping compression anyway
