Default What you think my compression is?

I bought my LS6 Fox with the motor already done, Im wanting to change it from a nitrous car to a turbo car but first want to figure if i can do it with the current setup in the car. So here is all i know of the motor.

LS6 Block
Mahle Gas ported nitrous pistons with forged rods and stock crank
243 Ported heads flow specs comparable to a AFR 225
ls6 intake

any guesses? Car runs off pump gas

Flat top pistons, domed, dished ?

Heads milled ?

Head gasket thickness are things we would need to know.

My crystal ball is coming up blurry for this one.

You'd need to know the relief or dish in the piston or a part number. That will change it quite a bit.
