Huh? I think you are mistaken.

Like forced induction applications(superchargers/turbochargers), an extremely high compression ratio is not a good idea. In fact most people that use turbos or SCs lower their compression ratios. The idea being that you can run a greater amount of boost. Nitrous will increase your cylinder pressures like turbos and SCs do.

First off, what type of car do you have (Year, Make, Model or engine type)? Are you planning on using this as a daily driver or a drag type car?
