Default Compression for Turbo Setup???

Well I had my motor built around an F1C Procharger setup, and I am pissed at Procharger right now and highly considering swapping over to Turbo/s.

Engine: Koenig 408ci Iron Block with ET 240cc Heads on a 9:1 compression ratio.

Will I safely be able to run a big single or nice sized TT setup on this motor. I know power isn't everything, but I am thinking 900+rwhp with a th400.

Will I safely be able to run enough boost to achieve the power I want or should I just stick it out with my Procharger setup?

If I went Single Turbo I was thinking a T88 with a 3.5" DP from Ohio Forced Inductions, or possibly taking the car to Stenod for a completely custom build.

Suggestions and Thoughts on this...

I think you will be fine with the 9 to 1. 8.5 to 1 would be ok also, just dont go down to 8 to 1. You might have trouble with it getting up and going being that low. We also offer custom builds besides are kits that are already out.
