No No. Boost requires a high compression. You def want at least 13:1. You should spray it as well to get the best results. A small 100 shot should be good on that compression ratio.

High compression and boost is the best way....think about it you cram more air into a smaller area for an explosion therefore the bang is bigger causing you to get more power

No, With a turbo car you want high compression. Hell diesels have 14.1 to 25.1 C/R... Hell a stock F250 Turbodiesel runs on about 25lbs of boost stock and they crank them to 40+ psi when modified.
