im planning on tuning my car soon, but before i start that i process i want to have a reliable head.

i currently have
bc cams 264
bc springs and retainers
rocker arms stoppers
arp head studs

I havent got the head gasket yet because i still dont know what size to get. From my research sr20det motors bore size are 86mm. Then i found out that when replacing a head gasket its better to run 1 or 2mm bigger, is that true? Then you can choose what thickness you want. Im guessing the bigger thickness is less compression? What do you guys suggest? I want to get apexi head as i heard good news about them.
