Sounds like you want the nitrous.......but if you're gonna drive it around all the time. 9-1 and a blower is more street friendly. With 11-1 your gonna need some really high octane gas....

I either run 93 with some Torco added to it or 104 race fuel.

If that's directed towards me....it's a "street legal" race car.

I hate to say it but look at hondas they are making some serious HP by going around 9:5:1 compression ratio and running high boost. my buddy is at that ratio and running 30PSI for high boost... it makes a little hpfor a honda.... LOL

Point: high compression(to a point)plus boost equals high HP
