Procharger Blown 383
I have a sbc 383 with forged rods/pistons/crank. I am running alum heads with 10:1 with fairly large cam which helps to lower my DCR. Here are the specs on the cam:
Comp Cams hydraulic roller camshaft (540/562 lift, 242/248@50dur
Air gap manifold which I plan to either move to a victor jr, or fuel injection, edelbrock 800 AVS thunder series carb (which I will replace with a 750 holley if I don't go to EFI).
My question is this... I would like to run a D or F series procharger with 3 core intercooler and run about 12-14 psi. According to prochargers chart, they claim I can run upwards of 16psi. Procharger claims with my setup and an intercooler this would be completely possible and still run on pump gas. The car is a weekend warrior, so if it turned ot I had to run 100 octane no big deal, but I would like to run pump if possible. But my ultimate goal is 700-800hp. The motor makes about 440hp N/A. I know that if I slap on a roots 671 I should have a max of about 8.5:1. Can someone also explain why a cent s/c lets you run more boost with higher C/R than a roots? Thanks.
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
