Probably going to come across as a really stupid question but what's the reason for running low compression.
Are there any benefits to running low compression on a n/a engine or is it just for turbo'd engines.
Would you get a benefit from running higher compression on a n/a engine, if so what.

to a certain extent it'd be much better having a higher compression on a N/A unless your using a turbo or nos... get see more gains from the gas on a lower comp too 
what you thinking like?

pretty much as jed said, lower comp ratio on forced induction and raise it for n/a. not to high on n/a with gas though.
