KrazyKyle = OWNED...hahaha
Couldnt he just use a 12:1 FMU to drive the car until he can get it tuned at a dyno? Then hes always on the safe side. Or could this not be done since hes got bigger injectors?

Keep on doing what you're doing Dimitry, you're starting to make more sense in your posts as you go along. Use the decompression plate to be on the safe side. That is totally your decision, I think it's a good idea.
Personally though, I think it's a waste of time with the low boost you'll be running, but it is also nice to have piece of mind in that your running a little bit lower C/R to keep strain off your pistons and rods.
Stick with you're original plan, run about 8 or 9 psi and see how that goes. Don't run 5psi, that's a little too low, you won't be in the efficiency range of the T3 and you'll just up the psi later anyway.

^^ Agreed. Came a long way since you first posted here. If you really want to lower CR, 9.3:1 might be a good way to go. You should keep some lowend drivability and add a little bit of extra safety. When you decide to turn it up to 12PSI, etc. then you can remove the plate and go with pistons for stronger internals.
