I agree do a turbo kit with turbo cams. you can jerry rig up a turbo kit for cheap just do all the work yourself. and get some boost friendly pistons

Ok heres and idear. Do the pi swap. You will end up with 10:1 comp. Nowwwwwww instead of boost get yourself a 100 shot of spray. NOS loves compression. Ill bet you get the numbers your lookin for then.

nitrous does not love compression. also with nitrous you want lower compression. but nitrous would be the best bet. you would be close to your goal. on the downside you dont have that much hp all the time

If you decide to do the pi swap, let me know. I have PI cams from my 00 GT for sale. They still have the timing gears pressed on as well. If you go that route, let me know.

10.5:1 compression isnt the most boost friendly. i mean you could have the heads ported and get maybe half a point or use a thicker head gasket, then run the risk of blowing the gasket out. Your decesion.
A good tune and you can run a high C/R with boost

I didn't say you couldnt. He is looking into pushing ten lbs of boost into that motor. It won't last like that, its not diesal. And whoever said Nitrous doesnt love compression, you are completely wrong. Compression and Nitrous are like peanut butter and jelly.
