Yep! I know of plenty of people that boost around that CR on Alky.Gas is a different story though.

yes you can run that compression with boost on methanol,but you shouldn't do it with an engine built for n/a.The pistons, pins and rods need to be able to take the abuse.you need a piston and pin designed for the power and an aluminum rod to soften the beating on the crankshaft.Otherwise you're going to end up with alot of broken parts.
