how sluggish is boost motor B4 boost? As the question asks.... I know the compression has a lot to do with it. Does the addition of headers, better intake/TB, tune, etc. make up for the lower compression performance loss before boost? I've heard some boost motors can be real slugs before boost. Tnx in advance.

what motor are you talking about? if its a lsx series then....well I have never seen a sluggish lsx motor, even stock... now if your talking the little 4 banger out of an evo... then yes they are sluggish....

A point drop in compression drops you how much horsepower? Not much.
It's pretty difficult to make a LSx V8 motor feel sluggish, especially down-low.... I think mods would easily make up for the point drop (or two) drop in CR. With 4-cyls it's another story, because they don't have a lot of down-low power as it is... V8's do.
