CR vs Turbo I am going to get a cam and head package and wanted some advice on the cr.I am going to turbo the car later this year,so is it a good trade off to drop the cr a little to be able to run more boost or stay with the stock cr.I am looking for about 475 to 500 rwhp.2002 RA TA WS6 stick.

475HP can be had on the stock CR with 5-6PSI and a good tune. The cam will weigh on this too. Wider LSA is better for FI cars (like 113-115 vs the 110-112 that favor NA power). Lots of info in this forum on the topic.
If you KNOW you're adding a turbo later this yearand are gettinig heads/cam now, I'd suggest getting 72cc heads to drop the CR to a more boost friendly 9 to 1. Just my $0.02
