It also saves me from having to split the case etc..
That's right about where I'm at, 13.25:1. Out of all the stuff I did to my bike, The head work was the most noticable with the most gains. The head gasket isnt going to give you a whole bunch of HP. Maybe 5 if your lucky. You should consider getting the head ported while you have it off.
