Everyone may disagree with me, but I don't see the point of forging the motor and retaining stock compression. The car has a blower on it. In the long run if the car is going to stay blown, lower compression is the way to go. You won't lose too much power by dropping the compression to 9 to 1 and it gives you room to grow and a higher margin of safety. I'm telling you, eventually you'll want a TVS or something else on there

If you want to build a N/A setup I would put some badass heads on the car with a cam and forged rods and pistons and be done with it.
