as far as compression low compression isnt a bad idea.. I stuck with stock on my 2.4 however dont run the k04 at 22 psi .. you'll be pushing hot air i wouldnt really go past 18 on it

It's really up to you. Low compression you are gonna lose some low end power but will be able to run higher boost. Stock compression will give you more low end but you won't be able to run as much boost safely. You will make more power with higher compression if running the same boost as a low compression setup though. Low compression is just a safer way to do it.
