I agree... I think lower compression pistons + higher boost would make a ton more power, and be less prone to knock. Drop that motor to 9.0:1 and bump the boost to 12 psi.
According to the rumor mill you'd probably need to replace the pistons anyway to run any more than minimal boost like that, due to the OEM piston strength limitations.
Like pretty much every factory non-turbo motor.
