Oh, and the stock HG thickness is 1.37mm compressed. It's better to run stock compression or, if you're increasing the boost, an even lower compression; That's only possible with a metal head gasket though and the block deck MUST be resurfaced and both head and block must be SMOOTH. MHG's require a smoother finish than you want with a composite HG.

Don't forget that when you swap the cams you'll have to reshim for proper clearances... do both intake and exhaust. The intake cam is the only one that's different between the GE and GTE; The Exhaust cams are the same.
