Default Anyone running low boost on 11:1 compression?

402, .052 Gaskets, -4 dish pistons, 65 cc heads, comes out to 11.17:1, all top of the line parts. I only run at 22 degrees of timing.
I want to remove my nitrous and run 5 lbs or less boost with a Procharger. I would be having my car tuned for it. I also heard that boost can help my daily driving issues.

The nitrous is going to work much better for you with that high compression. However, you should be able to get away with 5psi, providing you have a properly cooled intake. Your timing will need to come down some to make this happen.

Help daily driving issues? What issues? I dont think it will 'help' dd'ing
