toyota carib 1998 compression

howdi guys

iv just installed a fuel star to my stock (and gutless 100hp) 4A-FE engine. It lubricates the ports as well as increasing the octane rating of the fuel. Am i right in saying that now i can increase my engines compression for more horsepower? And is a thinner head gasket the easiest way to do this? Questions 1) can my engine handle it? 2) is it going to increase horsepower or diminish whats already there? 3) will it ruin my engine 4) if i am installing an AEM cold air intake system and a 3psi electric supercharger will this alone increase the compression of my enging due to the increased air pressure? eliminating the need for a gasket change! Please help me out

Regards

Mikeee

boost won't change your compression ratio, your compression ratio is a result of your engine's internals. i'm not positive on thedrawbacks of a thinner HG (or how much it would benefit you), but i've heard that the couple millimeters difference in the headgasket can cause slack in the timing belt which can affect the car negatively (i'm not sure if this is true or not though)
