Going 11.5:1 yes would help bottom end but for cams in the 9000rpm range you will be losing ALOT of off-idle torque. I think even with the "vvt" you would lose enough that crawling rocks would be somewhat irritating. Now for tromping through the trails and mud holes, sure. Off-idle crawling though it wouldn't be practical IMO. That and depending on how radical you go on the cams, streetability will suffer ALOT more than a booster application. And when are you gonna get pics up of your 5-spd swap!! We all wanna see!!!

I'm a turbo junkie so I'll stick with a turbo application. (I have 1 supercharged car thou)
I'm not planning on crazy hp numbers just maybe around 400hp to the wheels on a stock engine or mildly modified. I was happy to learn that our engines have 6 bolt mains. The cylinder head I have sitting in the garage will be mildly ported and polished.
