Interesting, I never realized that you lower compression to make it easier to tune. I was thinking about what keahi said about detonation, and worrying about octane, but I don't think that would be much of an issue. If our motors are 10.6:1 or something already, and we can push to 7800 safely, it wouldn't make a difference if you boosted. All you'd be doing is adding more air, and compensating it with the correct amount of fuel. And as long as this balance was achieved (by the tuner), you would be fine.

Am I right, or wrong here?

EDIT: I just realized that combustion properties would change under higher pressures.
