Default 10.8 compression LS... safe to turbo?

i built an LS motor with B16 pistons... according to the compression calculator on c-speedracing.com... my compression should be 10.8.

is this a safe CR to boost, at oh.... 10lbs?

yeha you'll be ok. Just make sure you get it tuned with someone who know what they are doing. Dont expect to boost 20psi on pump gas tho. Maybe 14psi at the highest on pump gas.

^^^ Agreed...

Also, make sure that you pick the right turbo for that particular compression. LS's have different characteristics than the VTEC cuzins... But yes, it can be done.
