im running a blow thru carb and locking the timing. NO intercooler.

my intake mani gets ICE cold after a drive. no ice, but tons of water sweating like the outside of a ice cold glass left out on a warm day.

its so hard to find info on safe compression ratios with boost online.

There's guys running more (much) boost and more compression. Your mileage may vary.

not an issue, when you get in the 15# area you should be looking into an intercooler though.

why is your timing locked? you should have at least a 6AL-2.

but yes, you'll be very safe from what i've seen, not personal experience.
