It is a proven fact however that the car with higher compression and less boost will perform better everytime.It's hard for me to spread "misinformation" when I've actually done it. Alot of car's run the high of compression from the factory, and run just fine with added boost. LS1/LT1 are the first example that comes to mind.There obviously comes a point when the power goals exceed what can be done with pump gas and low boost, at which point the boost needs to be turned up, and eventually that surpasses what pump gas can handle, no doubt.I would take my 500 rwhp 10.3:1 engine running only 10 psi over a 8.5:1 running 15 any day of the week though.Another people on the internet is is quick to spend your money. You "need" a aluminum block, and you "need" an intercooler, and you "need" a wideband in your car... All thing's I got along just fine without back in the mid 90's when they were all exotic. Are these thing's beneficial? Of course they are. Will you blow your car up in a fiery ball of death without them? Nope.</blockquote>
