what would you consider to be a "hell of a lot of boost"?

yeah i'm looking at droping my compression to low. i want some botom end power. i'm just looking at flow good flow. i'm looking at like 10psi or so my goal is just 400rwhp daily driven and i think it can do it. we'll see. but i know if i drop the compression to low then it will just suck. like a honda with a t88 or something just kinda point less at the bottom. just want good enough flow for the t4/to4r.

so ls1 head will be fine?? how about a set off of a 01 ws6 would that be good. would i need to get diffrent push rods or any thing. how about head gasket would i just use stock one or ls1 head gaskets i would think ls1 head gasket would leave a gao between the head and deck. wich might could be bad. any thought??
