The type-r will have higher cylinder pressures, making it worse.

The thing to keep in mind, however, is that the gains of higher PSI usually outweigh the benefits of having a high static CR, but you can make just about anything work.
Ah, that's what I was looking for. So the LS engine is better for boost than a GS-R or Type R engine because it has a lower CR and therefore can boost more on stock internals without doing damage. I've heard this a hundred times but didn't have any info to support it. Thanks.
