blowthrough 10:1 5.3 on alky
blowthrough 10:1 5.3 on alky I picked up another 5.3 this weekend. The plan is to do the build at SAM during my attendance (start june 1). Are the wiseco forged 5.3 (3.8x3.622) pistons with a 1.3" compression height going to work decent with Higher boost levels (18-22lbs)? They are a -2.2cc flat top if I remember right. With 61cc chambers i should be at 10.25:1 but im sure the chamber size will change in an effort to increase port air flow. I plan on running compstar rods as well as ARP head/main studs.The rest will be a blowthrough/alcohol 750, victor jr with a mad 6ls and BTM combo. I plan on using a s480 or something along those lines. I will not be running an intercooler because alcohol should run cool enough as is.
So again are the wiseco forged 5.3 pistons with a 1.3" compression height be sufficient with higher boost levels? They come with a steel top ring, napier second and a standard tension oil ring.
