Default Need to lower compression.......

Car is a 2005 RSX w/ a Greddy Kit. I want to run lower compression becasue i plan on running more boost. Right now im running 8psi and I just ordered 650cc injectors and a 255 Walbro, also Im getting a tune and i should be at 10psi. But i know if i lower the compression ill be able to run more boost. I also have plans of getting a bigger and better turbo set up. Does anyone have any input a lower compression kit i should use, or does any one have one they may be willing to sell.
Thanks this will be a big help....

When you lower compression you will make less power that's why you can run more boost. Just keep your compression and run higher boost anyway. Get it tuned and be done with.

Heard somefeedback from the machinist/engine builder I use, that thicker gaskets have a negative effect on quench. I know lots of people use thicker gaskets.?????
