Default boost vs compression?

boost in form of turbo/supercharger likes lower compression and boost in form of n20 likes higher compression, right?

though for me, you'd have to change it to 10 inches, and you'd have to change inches to millimeters, and you'd have to change 10 to 5 and you'd have to change dick to poor excuse for one.

I know you are right on the turbo assumption but I will leave it up to a nitro expert to chime in on the nawwssss.

The only reason you can run high compression with n20 is the extremely cold temps of the the intake charge. If you had an intercooller capable of dropping the intake charge to 0 degrees you could run alot more boost on higher compression too, not that you want to...it would still be better to keep compression lower and just up the boost, but you get the point. Alot of purpose built nitrous motors run lower compression...you can run more nitrous that way before having to up the octane. But more often than not...people who use nitrous like to run good on motor as well..so they opt for the added benifits of a higher compression motor= More HP NA. Thats the way I am going now.

You know we are really talking dynamic compression here and not static.
