Default 10:1 compression with 6 lbs of boost

Would I have any problems with running a blower on a 10:1 comp. motor, Such as detonation or blowing head gaskets. I would be running 93 octane.

that would be right on the threshold of danger, as far as i'm concerned. a methanol kit would really top that off, and i believe it would work nicely.

yeah like mattdel said definetely atleast a methanol kit , also an intercooler would help out to

10.1 comp+6lbs of boost from supercharger+methanol kit+intercooler+safe tune= a fun low 12's/high 11's beast

a sc is a waste of money if all you can run is 6psi of boost. your better off with nitrous. nitrous and high compression work well together

methanol basically gives you the ability to push your motor past the brink of destruction without it destroying. think of it as a windsheild washer fluid bottle full of holy water getting injected into your demon spawn of a motor to keep it from reigning down the fury of hell all over everyone.

or i could just give you this link http://www.snowperformance.net

what sucks about the bottle is you only have it once in a while, and you have to pay to refill.

making big power N/A or with FI gives it to ya allllll the time
