    On a 1200, removing the middle layer of the head gasket increases compression; not sure by how much PSI though.

    yep.or i use a set of side cutters and snip the bottom side of the compression ring and they just fall out.Thats how i do mine.WFO drills his and thats also a great way to go.Ive seen 5+ lb increase in compression by removing the center gasket.

    are there any side affects from doing this?

    Also reduces squish clearance which is equally important and beneficial as compression.
