Default 6.0 Build

Hey guys, I have done some searching and can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for. I am just starting a LQ4 turbo build and need to see what compression ratio I should be shooting for. I have a set of 317 heads that I am willing to to deck them if need be. I'm not necessarily on any budget. I am going to buy new Eagle rods and probably JE pistons when the time comes. I would like to run somewhere between 15-20lbs of boost at the track when we get everything lined out.

Thanks, for your help and I will be looking forward to your input/criticism.

from my understanding 9.5 to 1 to shoot for pump gas .. really depends on what kinda fuel your going to be running .. e85, race gas etc you can shoot for more compression .. maybe someone else can chime in

For a street car using pump gas with a mild to moderate sized turbo we generally shoot for 9:1
