Also, what I was pointing out is simply (as I mentioned, this was all just numbers and theoretical data): lower the compression for a boosted application keeps things safe as well as having forged internals for racing applications

This car has a lot of untapped power and running 12.5 compression is not the way to go for any big power. Even bigger muscle cars run in the 9 CR.
There's tons of oem race series using stock stuff, you speak like the stock internals are weak, yet people run 400+ whp without issue.

Cmon now, don't sell those engines short.

High compression + boost is amazing

I'd make:

9.5:1 pistons
10:1 pistons
and 11.5:1 pistons

Since all the demand seems to be mostly for boost anyways.
