11.1 compression on stock head gasket..
With a standalone ecu (not decided which yet), with forged internals on a B18C6 block and good tuning, what would be the limit that it could take it before the compression should be dropped?

I am running 11:1 on stock everything.

Basically, I would like to know how much hp increase it could take sensibly before looking at dropping the compression for safety.
I'm currently boosting 8psi on stock B18C6 ITR block.

Boost w/ 11.1? I can't give a specific hp # that would cause you to "blow up," but on the whole it isn't a good idea, IMO. Btw, SC or turbo?

If you are only running 8 lbs, it could easily have been a SC .
