Right now I have a choice to go either very low(around 9.1.1) or somewhat high (10.6.1) compression by using a thicker headgasket. I am currently at 11.4.1.

I know that with high CR i dont have to turn up boost to high and make the same power as those with lower CR and higher boost.

Would you guys rather run low boost and make X power or would you rather run more boost and make the same X power but be more reliable?

Im really concerned with what choice you would go with and why??

(Im aiming around 280-300 whp)
i got a t3/to4e garrett .57 trim and .63 ar

 

FOr some reason, 9.5:1 0r 9.6:1 sounds better with Gas

 

yeah you can only turn up the boost so far with that C:R and 91 octane or whatever you hapen to be working with. and if you get some shitty gas one day with higher C:R + boost = metal shrapnel.

I like Stoopid's philosophy of making the turbo work for your motor not the other way around
I.E. high boost
low C:R
less timing.

just my $.02
