How high compression for blower
My buddy has a 37 ford slant back with a 454 built engine. He's running 9.5:1 compression and wants to add a Weiand 6-71 blower. I told him he's running to much compression. I think the highest he could go is around 8.75:1. Maybe thats even too much. Since I've never had a blower on any of my engines, I just wanted to find out if 9.5:1 will scatter everything if it hickups.Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!

I belive 9:1 is the limit for charging, could be wrong though. tell him to shave the heads a little.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
