You still don't need a copper head gasket I was running 24psi making about 380hp into 18rg and was using a custom gasket not copper. I'm just build another motor 10.75:1 comp will use a custom gasket 1.8mm thick you can get them made through ACL they have the program to cut it out.

I paid $180 from autobarn for a full kit made by garmax which is working fine in my 10.5:1 compression 18RG. DO NOT use a copper head gasket unless you oring both the block and head. a friend of mine just wasted his time and money in his V8 drag car by putting in copper head gaskets and blowing them straight away.
another person who can get 18RG stuff is stewart wilkins http://www.swmotorsport.com/ hes got some decent prices too
Cheers, Owen
