Tim is running 9.8:1 in his. He's having some issues keeping the charge cool enough to run decent timing without detonation. I'm running about 9.3:1 with fairly good results. The guy who won Pro-Street at the shootout was running about 9.8:1 with obviously good results. He had a front mount IC which would help keep the temps down.

It's all relative. Detonation will be hard to control under high boost but if the rest of your setup complements the high compression, you'll be able to prevent it.
