Wiseco HD 1400. Those things are nuts.
As for compression... well... more compression, more off-boost power... AND on boost power... if you're running E85 or race fuel... might as well go higher in the compression.
I'm running 10.5:1 on a 2.4 with a ball bearing FP Black on 27-28psi. (30 is pushing it on a chance of bad gas with that compression)
So it depends what you're doing.
Best of luck!
