Default High Compression..less boost? or Lower Compression....higher boost?

Which one would be better? I heard that in a K20A2 and K20AR that you cant run as much boost/psi, b/c of the HIGH compression. So would you be able to run higher boost/psi in the K20A3 b/c of the lower compression? Is this true?

yes you can run a little more psi with lower compression (stock internals) then higher compression. But if you're talking about ungoddly amounts of boost on your A3 just because it has lower compression, it won't last long.
