I'm trying to lower my compression in the motor so I'm wondering on which heads would be able to do that and is there thicker head gaskets then stock out there? I'm going to be boosting the motor either with a supercharger or turbo and my compression is a little over 9:1 and i want it lower then that. Any ideas on a choice?

Come on engine builders out there what set of heads will lower my compression and be a good power gain for a turbo setup

AFR has some cylinder heads in the 70+ cc range.

You may try giving them a shot.
