To backup  a database  I do:

If -Fc  option  is compressed  by default  I dont need gzip the backup,  but I need pass --rsyncable  and -n options.

How can  I pass  gzip options  to compress in pg_dump?

pg_dump isn't using the gzip program, it's just performing compression per the gzip compression specification, and doesn't provide those two features to control it's processing (or any features beyond what's documented on the pg_dump reference page).
