Compression question for Turbo App.

When rebuilding my motor with forged internals, whats the best compression to achieve? Will i want a dish-top piston to allow more air? New to forced induction- just want to build a sick motor to handle all the boost lol.

it all depends on what you want too run for boost. i plan on 30+psi in my car so i ran 7.9-1 cr. that might be overkill for whatever you are doing but it is reasonable for me. i could always get an estimate together on an engine for you if you would like. let me no ;)

yea dude, id like to run about 30 lbs eventually, mabye get compression a little higher- id need a piston/rod kit to do it though-

figure it out for me

I'd like to know what break down of pricing would be to forge the block for high boost also. I just got a nice new college job, and I think I could save up enough money by spring time to buy a kit. I wanna do it right from the start though, and build my engine to safely handle a decent amount of boost. Suddenly this could become a possibility for me too, I'm gonna start saving up now!
