Default turbo question

i am going with a 427 stroked block and going to turbo it but wanted to know what is a good compression ratio running like 15-20psi and what intake and head could i put on the engine to make it still efi. also how would i run the oil supply and return lines lines.

for boosted applications, u want the compression low, like 8.5-1. heads dont matter much to keep efi as does the intake. for what u plan on i would run afr 205's and a box intake like the igloo or trickflow box. the victor 5.0 wouldnt be a bad choice either

no offense92gt50 but if you're really askin those kinda questions with those kinda ideas, i think you have a lot of research to do. thats an extremely expensive build and i dont think you want to just be askin guys what they think you should do. and for a turbo 427, i dont think that 205's will get close to cutting it if ur tryin to get the most outta it

Took the words right from my mouth. Better wipe off the saliva.

If you're asking questions like that.. you obviously haven't done much to try and research things yourself. A turbo 427 is gonna set you back a LOT.

15-20psi >.< that's quite a bit of boost.
