You need to read up. I was never saying that everyone should do 9.0:1 (aside from any big power builds for the safety aspect). I was using that as numbers from other engine platforms and theoretical numbers.
I think 10.5 would be a perfect spot but only time will tell. I can personally see it being lower IMO. There's a reason almost every factory 2.0L car is running in that range of 9 for high boost. Even on my car, I have lag at 1000-2800rpm but then boost is on and it's amazing. I also run 94 octane (lucky to have it here).
Even in my original post I mentioned it was just numbers for an exams showing that lowering the static compression will lower the full boost zone keeping things safer for pump fuel applications.
