Up the compression and lower the boost or keep what I got??
I have a 8.6:1 CR motor now running 15psi. Im thinking about bumping it to 10.1CR and dropping the boost down to 11psi. My goal is to get more throttle response below 3000 rpm and keeping the power close to where its at now. Im concerned by dropping the boost down that much, I would loose alot of my power. what do you guys think?

I say to bump the compression up to 10.1 and run a meth kit and keep you boost psi the same. You will make more power and be more streetable. The only down side is you have to depend on that meth kit to keep you from knocking.

I dont think youll see a huge bump in power below 3k just by bumping compression up a point or so.Its been posted on here that every point you go up/down is worth ~3% of youre power.But what kind of power are you making below 3K to begin with?Just for the sake of argument, if youre making 350rwhp from 2-3k and raise your compression 1.5 points thats only 17rwhp.Id want to know more about your setup before making suggestions. Hell a simple spark plug change gave me a much snappier throttle off idle.
