K a friend of mine has a sc300(2JZ+turbo) he put a 3mm headgasket to change his compression.
i think, is that possable for KA-Ts?

sure, you would just have to get it custom made, i doubt any1 makes one of these
http://www.headgasket.com is a good company, ive had a custom made gasket from them for a friends project bmw.

I think either Apexi or Top secret had like a 2.8mm head gasket. dunno about 3.0mm though that's pretty thick...

Flate rate for R&R head gasket is 8 hours for a DE!!! so depending on what the shop charges it is a little steep for instal in a shop

What ever you do don't buy an APEXi HG. They suck ass! I prefer HKS.
Make sure if you're changing your HG to resurface the block to check for surface imperfections.

My buddy has an MK3 Supra and didn't resurface. The gasket was in perfect condition! But, due to the imperfections on the block oil and coolant was sprayed out between the block and head. U prolley knoe this but...jus making sure...
