Default high compression and boost

hi i wanted to see if anyone was running 9.5-1 and boost. what results are you guys getting. i am building a 9.5-1 motor forged amd i have a custom sts turbo on its the dd so i opted for the higher compression so i would not be dead in the water when i was out of boost

I'm at 9.2-1 compression no problem. As soon as I get my dual fuel pumps in I'm hoping for 600 at the tires with 10-12 #'s on 93 pump gas. 9.5-1 should do great. What heads and cam are you going with?

I have 9.5 but be another week or two until car is running and then only be breaking in the motor ,low rpm and low boost. I wanted good snap off boost .Also planned on running alc injection or e85 later if we get it. My car is street car.If was building track car then likely lower compression and run much higher boost.

right now i have stock cam and stock head. im thinking i may do some port work and do a nice cam and srpings so i can rev it to 7k. right now it stops making power at like 6200 (before i killed the motor 10.9cr and 14lbs the meth helped) so the extra revs would be nice for hp
