Default compression question

10:1 compression would be fine for nitrous right? and maybe a low boost supercharger later on

for the nitrous I see NO problems,but for the Supper-charger I believe that you need to be about 8 to 1 compression. Good Luck!!

Its not the correct compression you would want to be running with a SC. Like 86HOGT said, you can run 5-6 psi at max. Do you already have the motor thats running 10:1? Or are you looking to buy a motor w/ 10:1?

Nitrous is okay with 10 to 1. For SC I would stay ~ 8.5 to 1.
