lowering c/r is better for forced induction. you need to change the piston(right way) or put in a thicker head gasket(cheap way).

higher c/r is for na/all motor setup. This requires changing pistons.

low comp. great boost high comp. great all moter n20 friendly but leave it the same and have the both of both worlds! but you might want to rais it to at least 10.6:1 or 10.0:1
