Default CR = boost

What compression ratio to run what amount of boost? A chart would be nice. Something like. CR 10.5 IC 7lbs non-IC 5lbs
Mostly want to know what CR is needed to run D1SC at 12lbs on lt1 on pump gas no meth at full timing.

its all in the tune. you could run higher psi with a great tune, but a shitty tune and you'll have to run less.

I found this.

Correct Compression Ratio = FCR minus [(altitude/1000) x 0.2]

Compression Boost (in pounds per square inch)
Ratio

2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 25

6.5:1 7.4 8.3 9.2 10.0 10.9 11.8 12.7 13.6 14.5 15.3 16.21 17.0
7.0:1 8.0 8.9 9.9 10.8 11.8 12.7 13.6 14.5 15.3 16.2 17.0 17.9
