So i got a 331 and compression is pretty high on it and i was thinking of goin turbo. What can i do to add the turbo kit without causing my motor to blow or anything? I know thicker gaskets can lower the compression but would that be enough? Let me know thanks

Honestly the Most Correct(not the only way) way of doing this would be to swap out the pistons. Adding a thicker head gasket does lower the compression ratio , but it also adversely affects your squish and quench , basically reducing the efficiency of the combustion.

What compression ratio is it?

High compression, low boost.

If its not to high just throw a thicker head gasket and go E85 for fuel..
