This SC set up will never go any higher unless i change the unit as i have it set at max revs already with 7200 rpm. so max will be 13 -14 psi .

Comments ?
Boosted. Don't be crazy, don't go high-comp and find out later your tuning was not so spot-on after all. Mess up and break one ring-land and you will not know about it forever....until it goes catastrophic. 10.0:1 is pretty close, 9.5:1 is safe. Trust me, once you boost it you get the Boost-Happy bug. I do *not* think with your setup you would notice the torque-loss/spool-up lag too much for you to stick to higher-comp pistons.
If you go higher compression, then MAKE FOR DAMN SURE you tune it perfect!!!
