LS/VTEC's can be any compression that you want. You are correct. High compression and boost can be dangerous. I know a guy with 11.0:1 compression with a turbo...he made over 300hp with a VERY GOOD TUNE.

I know another guy running an LS/VTEC with lower compression that made over 450hp.

It all depends on how you set up the engine, and how good your tuner is.
