Question 11 to 1 compression + forced induction.. need help

I've heard both sides argue..
I'm running roughly 11:1 compression in my ls1 motor w/o forged pistons and people are telling me to turbo the car and then I also hear a lot argue with that statement..

I need help.. I would like to at least be in the 11's in the quarter (not even sure where it runs now) but I really don't want to run nitrous..

What are your thoughts and input?

Not a problem with reasonable boost levels, appropriate fuel and/or methanol for boost level etc.

Lots of LS2 gto/tbss blower/turbo cars in this world with stock engines making big power

And "reasonable" boost levels would be about 5-8.. right?

specs on your car, auto? manual? any mods? if your only looking for high 11's, cant you do some heads/cam with bolt ons and get there. Forced induction is not cheap.

You do need to know the exact specs on high compression setup to safely dial in the amount boost you can run.
