I'm thinking that maybe I should just spend 5-6 hundred dollars and set my car up for nitrous. I'm not seeing a way to bring my CR down to 8.5 because All of my machine work is already done. The only thing that could vary is head gasket thickness, and i don't know if i could get 2 points worth of compression out of that. But with nitrous, I can set it up on a WOT switch so that it will work when the motor needs it the most (kinda like a turbo) Plus, I won't have to spend 3000 dollars to get that extra boost that i need. Thank you guys for all your info, I really appreciate you guys keeping me from making a stupid. I should have made provisions for turbo/blower before i had all of the permanent work done just in case I decided to do it.

Btw, I'm wanting to squeeze about 100 HP worth of nitrous into this motor. I know 100 isn't really a lot but I want to have at least some kind of balance between longevity and durability. Based off of what I've told you about my motor, do you think 100HP shot is realistic? Could it go more w/o hurting it? Is 100HP shot too much? I tried to pick a camshaft that would be ground thundering with some kind of boost on it (whether it be nitrous, blower, or turbo)
