As noted .... this might possibly sound dumb but I decided to ask you guys anyway. If you rebuilt your engine and put in forged pistions and rods and all the other goods included. Would it be safe to run on a relatively low compression ... let's say 8.5:1 ... without a turbo or anything else. I just got to thinkin since swaps are most likely the greatest pain in the ass, you could strengthen the head by upgrading the major components and slap on a turbo later.
