Default 7.5:1 to 10:1 compression noticable performance difference?

Just wanted to get some insight regards to the main noticeable differences in performance if I went from my vitara pistons to a set of SRP 10:1 compression pistons. My current comp ratio is in the neighborhood of about 7:1 to 7.5:1, I believe.

Here is my current dyno graph with the low comp set up..

I currently get full boost by about 3800 - 4200 rpms (13.5psi)

Car set up
go autoworks street kit
T3 50 trim turbo NOT a t3/t4
3" exhaust
2.5" dp (should have gone 3", but worried that it would be to loud)
3 layer metal head gasket

Vaguely correct. But with the technology and skilled tuners today you can run 11:1 and get 450 whp with no problems

Read Tony the Tiger's comments in the middle of page 3 regarding compression
