I was wondering what would be the highest compression ration to run w/ a single turbo setup w/ 8-10 pounds of boost. My 306 has a 9.5:1 CR, w/ all forged internals. Would this be safe and dependable as an everyday driver? What are you turbo guys running?

9.5:1 will be just fine even on pump gas, just make sure you tune to correctly, timing, etc...
