Depends how much boost you want to run... If stupid amounts then go the thicker, otherwise no need to lower the compression too much..

My opinion anyway

If your only looking at running 16-20 PSI then use the thinner one. but if your looking at pushing 22psi and upwards ON a regular basis go thicker. But hey, SHane has used an unopened Engine in his cressida pushing upwards of 500rwhp and Mid 10seconid 1/4 mile times. Not sure on how much boost he runs, But that should help u abit.
