Sorry to call B.S. but the boost/compression discussion is generally that with someone citing Ricardo from 75 years ago.
Like Conley, Duttweiller, Billy Anderson, et al, I prefer more compression than less.
One of my cars is basically a stock short block with 9-1 cr. I ran 16-17# on 93 octane and up to 24# spraying alky.
My GN is heavily modified with a roller cam, front mount, etc. I have run as high as 19# on 93 but more typically 17# and 24# on alky. I have not been over 28# on C16 but I had no detonation at that point. It runs 9-1 as well.
How much more boost do you want than that?

I can make more power than a stock block will handle very often.
All these learned comments about hp don't hold up on the street, or the track, imo. While peak hp may be debatable, I have not seen it win on the street or the track. Peak Hp may not win races as we don't run at a fixed rpm.
Cal, are you around? What do you believe from your experiences? You have built enuf serious cars for both street and strip to have a good idea.
The easiest way to get more compression during a rebuild is to do a clean up on the heads and block and then use a single shim head gasket which is only about .019" thick.
Try to recall that we run fairly high rear gears and we have to pull a bit broader rpm band than a low geared chevy. Also remember that we need torque at lower rpm to spool the turbo and launch the car. Most of us drive our cars on the street and it ain't much fun to have a doggy car in normal driving.
