I, on the other hand, believe that lower compression is part of building a reliable F/I motor.

A lower compression engine will run cooler, will last longer (especially the rings), and be more reliable/easier on parts that a high compression motor with boost.

I'm not saying you CAN'T run high compression, but I don't think it's the proper way to do it.

I couldn't agree with you more. If your engine is going to do everything you just pointed out...run cooler, last longer and be more reliable, why take a chance on high compression? Unless you're made out of money of course and I KNOW that I'm definitely not. Low compression is the way I'll go.
