Yes your compression is way too high...in my setup im running 9psi on a 8.8:1 cr....by the way...wut block do you have? I use GSR pistons in mine even though its an LS.

that would be in an ls block.

i'm looking to buy this block, but i already have a turbo kit. just wondering if i could boost it safely or not. i would boost about 8psi.

just outta curiousity, wondering why you cant boost with a CR above a certian point... what would happen exactly if you did this... would it spark early like how a diesel engine works.... ?

Yes it would spark early, also know as detonation, which is VERY bad. This is the number one killer of boosted honda's world wide. With a 12:1 CR I would just build up an all motor car(silly all motor guys , or perhaps sell the internals and buy aftermarket low compression ones.
