Thank you for your input carlzilla, it is encouraging to know that it has been done before with success!
I spent the largest part of last night studying David Vizard's Bible and in the section that talks about forced induction he talks about a setup with 8.5CR which could be boosted to 12-13 psi and with the addition of water injection could go up to 18psi (all of this without an intercooler). I think if I couple this with the feedback from this thread I can safely infer that it is likely possible to go the non-intercooler route and as far as CR I will aim for 8.5-8.6 since that is something I need to determine at this part of the build.
I will start a build thread since there is lots of stuff going on and a lot of questions that keep piling up so hopefully people can help me and the thread can also work as a reference in the future.
Cheers everyone!
