Default Advice on compression ratio please!!

Hi all!

Right im looking to build a zetec turbo and am abit unsure as to what compression ratio i need. I am looking to run around 300 bhp up to a max of 350 bhp depending on the spec i go for. What c/r should i be looking to run?

I have seen these...

Has any one used them and is a c/r or 9:0:1 ok for the power i am looking to run or should i be looking to go lower. What are they like? can they cope with the power? and has any one had any problems with them.

cheers adam
