Default high compression and turbo in the itr?

not sure if this is the right forum to post this but here goes. I've heard of numerous drag racers using high compression pistons, as high as 10.5:1 and running high boost. I was thinking about doing that with my R but everyone tells me to use something like a 9:1 comp ratio. I've heard with high compression, throttle response and thermal efficiency is better. my R right now has some pretty good throttle response with stock pistons but I would love to get some endyn rollerwave high comp pistons and running high boost. What do you guys think about this. Also, I'm planning to get the toda individual throttle bodies and getting that to work with my turbo by building a little air box before the turbo. Think this is a good idea or should I get a high flowing intake manifold? Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance

True, running a lower compression ratio will allow you to run more boost, but without beefed up internals this is questionable. There are a few people on here that are running a turbo with stock internals and are doing just fine, so wait till they post and ask them questions.
