So basically, you are going to use the blower to bring down your track time? That makes sense. I would still recommend having a shop dyno tune the car, especially since you want to start running some competitive times. Having your car dyno-tuned will help find and make the most use of any extra horsepower and torque that a simple "butt dyno" would most certainly miss.

So, to sum everything up, your current compression with your current internals will be just fine. As you said, you plan to pull the motor apart once you have another daily driver; so just wait until then.

P.S. - traction is going to be your ticket to running 10's once you have the boosted power. High amounts of horsepower will do very little if you cannot get that power to the ground. Have you already made provisions for this?
