Default Chevelle LS swapped turbo build

Hey guys, last year I 6.0 swapped my Chevelle with a t56. The motor is pretty much stock except for 799 heads, with .660 springs, and a summit cam 226/238 .600/.600.

it runs awesome and has great power but now I知 feeling like having some boost. I have a couple questions.

my current compression is probably in the neighborhood of 10.3:1. LQ4 pistons with 799 heads decked a little so around 63ccs with stock .051 head gaskets.

would my 10.3:1 compression be okay for pump gas 91 octane? I don稚 really want to run anything else because this is practically a daily driver.

Also, I was thinking of running a s475 turbo, I want something that値l spool quickly and be fun on the street. I don稚 really care about making a specific horsepower number, I just want a good combo that値l work well for the street and still be drivable.

Guys with stock LS3's that have 10.7:1 run LSA's and turbo's all the time. Just keep the IAT's in check, keep boost lower and you should be fine.
