dropping your compression will allow you to up the boost, YES. I agree. but there is no way a stock bottom end can handle that...even with fuel and spark. Id have to see it to believe it.
come civics are just built better also, maybe they got a good one...=) heres an example for ya...www.2gnt.com some people on there have been running 9psi (stock bottom end) for a year or so with no problems while others blew their engine in 2-4months.
