I'd still prefer slightly less compression... when I say I want lower compression, I'm thinking more along the lines of 11-11.5, not the 7-9 most people think. And this is because I want more boost, to ultimately make more power.

That being said, we haven't run into the limitations of 12.5:1 compression yet, so we won't be dropping in our lower compression engine until we do.
