Looks like a really informative book. Op, this is what i understand... Anyone please correct me if I'm wrong. From what I'v gathered, is that most people go lower compression so they have the ability to run more boost. I think the second post described it perfectly. The more boost you have the more pressure is created, so thus a lower compression motor would be able to handle a higher boost level.
