Title: engine question?
Post by: lostbrew on September 28, 2005, 01:03:52 PM
what would anyone recomend running the compression at for a blower ot a turbo on the 5.0? i know in my cfi engine it is 8:1 idk if that is ideal for a blower or a turbo? i probably would have to make the bottom end bulletproof? i know i can do all the work i just need some advice because a blower or a trbo might be in the 5.0's future. along with the sefi mod :evilgrin:  hey gotta build in tunability

the lower the static compression the more boost ya can run

good rods and forged pistons are a must on any heavy boosted engine
