Default Compression Issue--LS1

I would like to install a Vortech supercharger on 99 SS/Camaro, However, I hear of problems with LS1 compression ratio being to high, Any way around the compression issue???

Well, yer in the wrong forum, but there are things you can do to the engine to decrease compression. Different rotating set-ups including pistons, for one.

6 liter heads will lower your compression due to a larger combustion chamber.

Or you can go conservative on the timing, liberal with the octane, get the tune right and still make great power.
