I ran 10.5:1 and 8 psi (centri) for about a year. Initially I had some detonation issues but cleared them up with meth injection. Turbo and high boost is a different game and 9.9 is kinda high

Thank you for the input. Were/are you running air to water? How aggressive was your timing? What combo were you running? Sorry for all the questions but I'm just trying to figure out whether i should be buying new pistons or not.
