Is 10.5:1 compression too high?
I'm currently sitting at 11.4 compression on a N/A 408 and I'm thinking about adding a turbo. Maybe an S480 but I'm not sure. If I go the FI route, I would send my LS3 heads to Richard at WCCH and get them ported and opened up to 75cc chambers for a 10.5:1 compression change. Is that too high for a daily driver on boost?
I've never played with forced induction before so this is all new to me. Could I run 8-10 lbs saftely with a normal timing curve? Thanks guys

People always say good fuel, but in vegas you really gotta be watching for detonation as the weather changes. I do a lot of checks on the turbo cars as the weather warms up ( if the car doesn't have some sort of guage for monitoring AFR and knock youre kinda askin for it ) Tuning isn't hard but its gotta be done right.
Only takes a second to scan it and check it out. Hope to see the ride around with the Turbo setup!
