This is a really good question. I have seen a lot of people on here like cablebandit that have a stocklike compression also seen people with some as low as 7.x.x compression. I think it depends on you wants and what your parts can handle. Saying that is your vehicle going to be a DD street/strip or just taken out on the town on the weekends? The lower your compression the more sluggish it's going to be out of boost. If your are not running meth then it is a good idea to keep it low. But you should think about running meth it is a great safety mech for FI IMO.
