Re: lowering compression? Depends on how you go about lowering your compression, like getting low compression pistons or just a thicker gasket or bigger cc chamber on your heads. Your horsepower question would depend on what heads and cam and also how low compression you are deciding on going.

Re: lowering compression? how much headwork? what size cam? how much compression? the specifics are critical before making any guess..
my car dynoed 301 rw on 8.75 compression & a small turbo cam and stage one ARE heads, no lid, longtube headers, no cats, ls6 intake, ported throttlebody
remind you this *should* wake up considerably once the boost shows up to get to my 600rw goal.. if it doesnt, then its blown up and going back to ARE again.
