Default What else could be done?

Here is my setup on my car right now. I was wondering if anyone could think of any bolt ons or anything else except blowers, turbos, or nitrous. And i was also wondering if someone could tell me the best way to raise my compression and still be able to run on 93 pump gas? Thanks

Engine:
9.2:1 Compression
scat forged rods
speed pro forged pistons
new OE replacement lifters/Trays
cloyes non-adjustable timing set
ARP Main studs
ARP head studs
Clevite H bearings in cam, rods and mains
Patriot stage 3 LS6 Style heads
Lost the cam card, but the specs are 228/232 @.050 with ~.580 lift (if i remember correctly)
all new GM gaskets
TSP air lid
LS6 Intake
ported LS6 oil pump
Comp hardned pushrods
Mac headers w/ true duals
160 T-stat
ASP underdrive pully
ported stock throttle body

why the hell was it built with such low compression?

with that setup, it would make an ideal blower engine. not sure you can do much to the compression without swapping pistons.

did you buy the engine that way?

my first thought was why so low on the comp. as well...
that said you could upgrade to a 90/90 or the new 92/92 setup from fast.
i like procharger for a low comp motor myself

You could buy new heads and have them milled. This would help a lot and go with only a stage 1 or 2. Stage 3 is specifially designed for larger cubes and perfect for a procharger.
Or you could by my Thuner Racing Heads that are for sale and have already been milled... https://ls1tech.com/forums/lsx-parts-sale/972934-tr-cnc-ported-heads-tr224-cam-pr-lifters-oil-pump-head-bolts.html
