Well, you have to consider that its DI - its an entirely different ball game. DI engines seem to hold higher CR's on lower octane ratings. Similarly to how fuel injection can hold higher CR's on lower octanes than carbed can. So, I have a feeling it will be able to hold more boost than you think. Especially with VVT. I may be wrong. I just think it has the potential.

P.S. - And I wasn't trying to say potential meaning more power than the V8 period, I mean more % improvement. Example - you mod the V8 to 600 hp. You mod the V6 to 600 hp. Which one has more improvement? The 50% gain on the v8, or the 100% gain on the V6? And as far as high boost, I was referring to the block in that sentence. Maybe you should reread it. You can drop the CR without buying a new block.
