Pistons, turbos, and compression & fuel

[Cody Morris]

From reading a lot of posts I have learned a lot about these parts, and mixing them. My main question/concern is with pistons, and using low or high compression. Extreme goes with low (7.8:1), others will be over the 10:1. Boost differences are heard from both too, especially from hearing how others are running. What do you all use, or know about, and what can you get the best perforamce out of. I know that I plan on going all out, with money being saved, and I plan on pushing over 600HP (every man's dream for thier DSM, if not already their!), but I am not real sure what is better, low or high. Also, with turbo's, what role does it have with running high, low boost with your high/low pistons, etc... Basically, let the huge discussion begin!

Generally, you don't want to run more than 9.0:1 for a street driven turbo car. If you do, unless you are a superb tuner, you won't be able to run as much boost on pump gas. 10.0:1 is kind of high, usually reserved for all motor cars. Higher compression will give you more low end power.
