i'm gonna slap a vtec head on my ls turbo soon and will keep my boost level at 15psi. must have internals though to boost that much.

if you are wanting to go all out try to get like a 9:1 compression if you just want to run low boost get 9:5 or 10:1. thats what i would do because if i took the turbo off itll still be quick

tune it at 12 psi at 10:1 ratio, that will be a very nice street monster. When you start getting past 10:1 is when you have problems. 10.5:1 would be amazing but you'd have to be at 9 psi or less tuned conservatively

9:1 is for the 25psi in straight ls block style. get 10:1 and tune it! none of that fmu crap

Dude, 9:5!! That's madd low, like 1.8:1 low. This really bugs me but it would be 9.5:1, not 9:5

10.0:1 - 10.5:1 would be a good choice
