    Well ive heard that with higher compression you can still run boost, but the question i want to know is how much boost can you run with say 10.1, 9.5.1.When this winter roles up on us im planning on building my motor with forge internals i want higher compression of course the motor is a 5.4 sohc motor i would go 4 valve but y make my headache any worse then what it is now. right now i have it twin turboed (motor has 8.5.1 compression nowlighting shortblock) and i like my turbos jus motor feels like ass when not under boost hence the higher compression. but y turbos arent effecient unless i run at least 15 psi min. so whats the most psi have anyone ran on higher compression.
