9.8:1 too much compression for BLOWER?

[$uperstang]

Just what the title says, is it too much Comp. to add a Vortech S trim to my combo pushing 8-10lbs of boost? If it is could I at least get a SC trim 5-6lbs of boost?

you can still run boost with that compression. once you start getting the 10's is where it becomes questionable.

Since the compression IS a little higher than stock, you would def need some decent fuel mods and a good solid safe tune.

8lbs easy over that you would need a good tune.

9.8:1 is not ideal... just keep it conservative or you'll start pushing head gaskets or worse

your safe., make sure to get it tuned thow

i agree with what everyone said,keep it under 8 psi,get a tune and run good gas.no lower than 91 octane.you could mix alittle race gas and be good
