Compression drop?

[2gProjectCar]

My motor just got rebuilt (isnt even in the car yet). and I'm wanting to run about 5 lbs of boost on my stock 420a motor. The question is though, is it okay/safe to run that low of boost on the stock compression ratio? or do i need to drop the compression?

5lbs should be fine

Would you happen to know an estimated hp gain I might get with that amount of boost?

5lbs is a very conservative "safe" boost level.

with 5 lbs I'd expect about 35-50 hp increase, depends on tons of different things. It'll be fun power, but definately not balls out power

Fun power is all I'm looking for. For now. haha
