At 5.5psi, will I see some type of performance? Keep in my I have a automatic and it's slow as hell. The car itself has 125,000 miles on it. I always change the oil at 3,000 miles, just had the transmission flushed out. I don't dogg my car out. Is running a turbo a lot safer than run nitrous? What will a greddy head gasket do for me? Any answers would be helpful.

even at 1 psi you'll see a major increase in throttle response and power gain....yes, even with auto tranny. turbo and nitrous can be dangerous if you just slap it in without researches. you are doing just fine by posting here. when people talk about the GReddy head gasket, they are referring to the thicker head gasket which is usually made of a somekind of metal. what it does is lower your compression based on the thickness of the gasket. the thicker the gasket, the more it drops your compression. lower compression is typical for most turbo application. your stock compression ratio is fine with 5.5 psi of boost.
