Default engine building?

I have a 306 with ross pistons and trick flow stage one camand was 10.1 comp with gt40p heads, but plan on putting afr 165 heads on it. i was wondering if anyone had a supercharger for sale.with 10lbsof boost should i o ring the heads and what compression ratio i would be running with the 165 with 60cc i think. would 10lbs be too much if the comp ratio was close to 10.1. any other info would be greatly appreciated

You could prollydo it with e85, but your mileage will suck hard, especially if you go wot regularly. For pump gas 9.5:1 is about the max you can run with low boost(6-7lbs) if you have a good build/tune. But 9.0:1 or lower is prefered

i could care less about gas mileage. it wont be a daily driver just some afternoon fun once in a while. anyway to run 10lbs thats the max i would try and go with that compor what about nitrous. i know the stock comp was 9.1 and i had a 100 shot on it before, will that one point really make a difference and what does anyone reccomend, nitrous or blower 10lbs or a 100 shot. if 10lbs then how can i get the car to run without blowing up. what octane should be used retard ignition how many degreesor if i used the nitrous it would be a wet shot so it should run good but worried about blowing myself up with that one point. any response would be great.
