Default Compression-What's yours?

What compression are you guys using and what do you boost on the street? I have 93 oct. With 9.5 or 9.6, how much could I boost on the street with tuning?

assuming your engine can handle it, and you have a good fuel system, I'd stick with around 15-18psi on pump gas with 9.6 compression to be safe. Ideal compression for a daily driven turbo honda is anywhere from 9-10

im running 9:1 compression and around 12-15psi on the street. if you have an inline fuel pump and fmu you should run about 8psi safely, a little more with proper tuning, injectors, and possibly an afc.
