I plan on only being around 600rwhp maybe 700 in the far future.
Stock Ls1 for me.
For stock motor, go with 72cc heads to get compression down to around 9.5.

Be aware that limit of stock pistons is around 550RWHP.

I've seen enough procharged C6 Corvettes with 10.9:1 run 8-10 psi with Alky & safe tune dyno 625-650rwhp to make me believe that 10:1-10.5:1 is safe & will give increased throttle response & power for less than 12 psi of boost on LS engines. My car dynos 668/592 at the wheels: 9.4psi, 11.4 afr, 14* at 6400 rpm. AFR 205's with 67cc
