Just a smidge over 9.0 CR... Should I worry?

Well I am really really itching to get this thing on the road. I currently have a set of ported LT4/intake and really would rather stay away from buying another set of trickflows and having them ported.

I figured the compression the other day and it came in just a tad over 9.0 should I worry?

I really would like to break the 650rwhp at least. I should be ok in this range right? I know most want to shoot for 8.9:1.
I know my T76 can get me to that hp mark, but I want to make sure all is in check before I start bumping up the boost to make it.

You will be okay just make sure the tune is good and keep the boost a tad lower. Im gonna be running 9.78:1 for this year until i pay some **** off then toss on some bigger heads.

Im gonna run around 10psi with meth and 94octane MIN.

Be sure to run the highest level gas possible.and run meth.
