swapping from nitrous to a blower
swapping from nitrous to a blower I'm thinking about changing my setup to a blower, engine combo now is a hke 396, 6.0 Iron Block, Eagle 3.9 crank, Scat rods ,Weisco custom nitrous pistons, Coated bearings, has custom mamo ported afr 225's with a port matched vic Jr intake, has the new accel 4500 tb, 60lb injectors, meizere electric race water pump, think its about 12:1 compression. What all do I need to change? I will prob go with e85 so what injectors and what else to swap over. Thanks for any help! Completely new to boost! I was thinking procharger f1r, f1x, or ysi
On that compression you will be quite limited. It should make decent power but you will have to run E-85, Methanol (as primary fuel) or race gas, be limited on tune and possible boost. I would recomend a F1A for your combo as the F1R/X will be to aggressive and produce more boost then you can use. Have the heads been decked at all? Combustion chamber size?

Verdad Gallardo If your willing to run E-85 you have a few more options. What size is the combustion chamber? You could always go with a slightly larger chamber size, a little thicker gasket to drop the compression a touch. With E-85 you'll be able to run a little higher boost and with the higer then usual compression, it'll make pretty dam good power I think. A lot will be based on your tune...make sure you have a VERY good tuner and take it easy on the timing lol. Try to get some info on the heads....I think its possible!
