Default Compression question

I have a set of trick flow 215's, with 59 cc,i was wondering what pistons would be best recommended for lowering my compression enough that i could supercharge or turbo my car eventually. Forgot engine is a 346

Should actually work pretty good. By running a small chamber with a dished piston most of your combustion pressure will be on the center of the piston instead of out towards the ring lands.

Is look at the -15cc pistons to stay at or just over 9.0.....you might not be able to run as much boost in the end, but it will be more snappy at low/no boost in the lower rpms.

My GN powered S-10 has a 9.2 static CR and I can run 23# boost with alky injection. A lot will depend on setup, tuning, and timing...
