Thinking of FI my stroker. I have a 414 stroker and was thinking of a s/c or a turbo. I have a flat top piston w/ 2cc. If I just change my heads to a stock 6.0 317 cast what would my comp be and could I do a s/c? I am trying to do this w/out tearing the motor apart just to change the pistons.

Sure all you could do now is swap heads, but you wouldnt be able to make alot of boost b/c of compression. what's the point of spending 3-5K if you can only run 5-10lbs of boost??
IMO, if you're going to take the FI plunge, do it right. you'll want new pistons/rings/heads and then you'll need to upgrade your entire fuel system to support the new power.
This is one reason why i was on bottle for so long. I told myself that i didnt want to go FI and make the same HP(710HP on the bottle) or just a little more HP. If i was going to do it, i'd go for a BIG setup.
Do it once and do it right.

Good luck.

Good luck.

On the street its anything goes...Spray, NA, FI, etc....Cant complain when you bring a knife (NA car) to a gun fight.
You've had enough tuning issues as it is, pull the pistons and swap em. move to a 6.0 head ( I have some that will outflow what you got on your car by a huge margin) and put it back together. Put you a custom kit on the car with a 91.5mm Thumper in the gril and drive the **** out of it. Please dont take my advice. My car is still in pieces.

i'm thinking of going with some ported L92 w/ a carb intake to match....but still just thinking about it. lots more research to do.
