Off boost power is nothing to worry about, havn't had to change my driving style at all and I normally drive between 1600-2000 rpm if I'm just trying to get from A to B, and I've even got a light weight flywheel.

Low Comp 20g head impressions
Ok so I pulled out my motor to fix some oil leaks and to install my custom clocked and ported td04, and what do ya know the motor ended up with early "low compression" 20g heads on it by the time it went back togeather lol. If your following my other thread in the intake section you'll know I've got some oil consumption issues but I think thats my own fault for not replacing my valve seals (anyone know were to get those early valve cover gaskets here to the states? ) Anyway doing a little bit of reserch before the motor went in I found more negative predictions about having such a low comp ratio than good.

Re: Low Comp 20g head impressions
There's a thread floating around where someone had all the part #'s for the valve cover gaksets. I don't know the link at the momont. But utimately, you'll likely have to order it from one of the overseas Subaru dealers that ships to the US.
