My compression check is yielding 200 psi across the board. I'm considering running 5 psi or so of boost on it. What are your thoughts,concerns, comments?

 

do it, that is what im planning on doin, high compression + boost = insane power, that is an equation that cannot be disproved, its a law...high compression = more power period. you'll make great power with that kind of comperssion, just make sure you tune it well..

 

I am a big fan of high compression plus boost. In this case, I would recommend away from it if you are going with a roots style blower. Without the intercooler, that is a lot of heat to be dumping in with that compression. I think you will have a hard time keeping away from detonation. I'm not saying it isn't possible, but either way you could make more power with a properly tuned turbo setup for the same cost.

 

at 5psi the blower wont make that much heat go ahead and do it! it will make good power with good engine management

 

I'm thinking I'm going centrifugal if anything. With 11.2:1 compression, 5 psi should be good for at least another 40 to 45 or so at the wheels... I'm making 189 at the wheels now so another 40 would be most welcome

 

get a blockguard for cheap, and tune it well, and go vortech

will make great power
