Building NA LS2 with potential for turbo in the future? I know. I am stupid. I should simply just go big and build my engine for turbo now, cause it's bound to happen anyways.
However...
Say if I were to be refinishing an LS2 block already with some forged pistons, but keeping the stock rod/crank. I currently already have AFR 230 72cc heads, which is one of the main reasons why I am even considering the turbo route, before I mill the heads to achieve a higher compression for NA purposes.
Is there such a thing as middle ground for compression ratios for NA and then possibly going to turbo later? If I do go turbo, I would most likely be running in the lower boost range (~10psi or less?).
Maybe I am just thinking out loud, trying to convince or justify myself for going one way or another.
