Default compression

i was wondering if i could run a procharger on my engine
its a ls1 with completely forged bottom end, afr ported 205 heads, a comp cam, and a fast 90mm thottle body and ported intake with about 11.7:1 compression
and its got 482 rwhp and 450 tq
i was wondering if it would handle 5-9 lbs of boost?

An important bit of info here would be whether or not you plan to run pump gas...?

on race gas it may live and work okay but its going to be pricey. I would drop the compression so way so how.

do you have access to e85? you should be good with e85 and a good tune.

alot of it will depend on the tune though,
even with racegas, a shitty tune will kill a motor.

i can get a good tune
but i was just wandering if with that compression if it would be possible to run a procharger with race fuel
mainly wondering if the engine would hold together or if there was to much compression
