Ok I built a N/A motor and im completely unhappy with it so I am going to boost it. Its a stock ls1 block and crank callies compstar rods and diamond flat top pistons w/2cc reliefs I am going with ETP 225cc heads and 72cc chambers. As far as cam choice im not exactly sure what it will be yet but i do have Ed Curtis designing a custom cam for me right now. I'm not exactly sure what the cr will be but im thinking somewhere around 9.3. I am going to run the kytp kit with a 76mm turbo. I dont really want to have to run race gas im looking to make a good 650-700rwhp on a safe tune and pump gas what are your thoughts on this set up?

sounds good to me, a tc76 should work extra nice there or even an one of the "Sxx" turbos

well i have read alot of posts that seem to imply that my compression may be a little on the high side like i said i am very new what are some thoughts on that

I think you should be fine with that setup. Should be a very street friendly and super fast setup.

Your compression is primetime for a mild set-up. Many members here run stock bottoms with 72cc heads, and pump gas.

that seems to be the ideal cr for a procharger setup from what ive read, but regardless its gonna rock. i really like the KYTP kits

9.3:1 is fine I'm @ 9.8:1 numbers in sig.

Its gonna rock Wes. No worries on the compression ratio. You are gonna have your hands full when you get that car finished with the new setup.

I have a similiar setup tho, flattop diamond pistons w/-2cc reliefs, 72cc 317 heads forged rotating assembly, i have no problem hitting 12-14psi, i do have the 2003 GM MLS gaskets too and studs.

GM MLS gaskets are sufficient.
