Default Compression Ratio

Right now my stroker is running a 10:1 CR, can i run boost? is there a way to lower my CR without new pistons? any advice/help would be great. I came into a turbo(complete kit for my 95 gt) for extremely cheap and i want to use it haha.

Default RE: Compression Ratio

youd be best to get new pistons. you could probably get away with 5-6psi and 93octane fuel but if its a turbo, whos going to want to stop at 6psi?

Thicker head gasket or larger chamber heads would lower compression too. Personally, I wouldn't want to spend that kind of money if you're going to limit yourself with that compression. I'd either lower the compression and run more boost or go with nitrous instead.
