If you're looking at a $1,699 Supercharger, that means you're looking at a Powerdyne. If you don't listen to anything else here in these forums, then listen to this... Don't buy a Powerdyne! They are garbage and will end up causing you more problems and costing you more money in the end. Spend the extra 800 - 900 for a decent setup.

Yeah, that's why I mentioned it above earlier. I can't even imagine how ugly it would look when the cylinder walls fly apart.

i think it would be best to sell your motor and start over or pull it and start building a new one. you could run like 1/10 of a pound of boost before that thing would grenade it self really bad. 10.5:1 + .050 over = bad for boost

nitrous would probably be your best bet as far as power adders go

first off why the hell is it bored .50 over?...there is no meat there,and what a break in period...i'm not going to hit heat/cooling problems...your walls are so thin that the 1st time you even put a 100 shot at it those pistons are going to slap a crack in it quick!..the only way i'd consider boost is if 1 the cylinder walls were sleeved and putting some cometic head gaskets on just to bring the compression down
