I referred to Corky Bell's book for some information on this topic.  The
basic idea is to run as low a compression ratio as you *need* to.  In other
words, yes.. you can run higher boost without detonation at lower CR to a
point...  He doesn't really specify what that point IS, but suffice to say
that if the CR is too low you'll never leave the line!
