compression ideas please help

[badintentions]

rebuilding the motor from top to bottom, and hopefully gunna hit like 250 hp at the wheels. looking at pistons right now and i noticed cp has a good number of options for compression ratios i know 8.5 to 1 is stock and they go all the way to 9.5. I was thinking 9 to 1 i still would like to drive the car on weekends. With these pistons what would be a few god ideas on parts to accompany the pistons. things i am already a doing are greddy hg and arp studs and some tomei cams and as many gaskets as i can get. I am currently running an sr t25 turbo at 10 psi i may go higher depending on funds after the rebuild if a turbo is for sale at a decent price. im going to play it safe and say im not going to hit my goal but it will be a fun car to drive and thats all im looking for. i tried to fix some of my punctuation as people seem to have trouble reading my posts.i rode the short bus going to school.

New oil and water pump. ARP rod bolts.

How about a standalone ecu, a wideband o2, an exhaust temp sensor, and someone who can tune it correctly?

I vote you keep the compression ratio at 8.5 and use more boost. 9:1 will make the car more perky but it's eventually gonna limit how much boost you can safely run. And you will want to run more boost, I guarantee it.

Get a bigger turbo if you can too. Even a T28 will make a CA gobs of fun, go bigger if you can. Laginess can be somewhat mitigated by a timing and fuel tuning, but then again I like peaky, high-strung 4-bangers with turbos that kick hard when they come on.

And f*** that standalone bulls***, a rom tune will do fine for a setup like yours. The stock maps will probably be good up til about 1 Bar even, but beyond that start looking at getting it done properly. Be sure you get a frontmount too.

Also, why are you bothering with a metal HG if you're only gonna run wimpy amounts of boost? Slap a felpro on there and run it til she lets go.

thanks for the input guys. i was thinking sence we have these bullit proof iron blockes, rasing the compressin ratio waasent gunna kill me. i can promise one thing i will never hit over 15psi i dont like that crazy laggy kick in feel. i am already going to do head studs i left that out. i have a shop out by me synapse motosports who can dyno tune it they are goood from what i have herd. should i do connecting rods as well thinking fpr and walboro fp.
