11.0 compression to much for ProCharger?
11.0 compression to much for ProCharger? Been doing a lot of searching and considering a procharger for my next mod. But not sure how or what the motor will handle as is.
Current h/c motor specifics:
Cnc'ed 5.3l heads 11.0-1 comp
TR 224 114lsa
Ported ls6 and ported tb
Stock bottom end
19,000 miles
I would like 550rwp, but that may be a stretch with that kind of compression. What options do I have? Thanks as always Techy's

It'll work I had a motor with a compression ratio like that . just keep the timing low and you'll make plenty of power. Make sure you use a good meth kit too it'll keep the detonation away .good luck
Guys, can you explain how the meth kit works? I'm assuming it sprays under a certain psi? Where do you buy this stuff? This is one area I don't have a clue on. But then again, this site has always pointed me in the right direction as long as you ask the right questions.

The more methanol you can spray the better. Look at the videos Snow performance, will give you a good idea on how they work, pretty simple really. I love the stg2 kit they sell for street cars on 93 pump gas. I have used that kit with great results on 4 of my own and many friends' cars. Def worth the $420 ish price tag. I will never have another turbo street car without spraying meth.
Don't think meth is needed...in most applications but, to each they're own. I see no problem what so ever running this setup, with no meth, and I would imagine, with ported heads/cam, you should be making more then 600 wheel?... 8.5 psi on a similar compression, more na cam, and I made 680 on 93oct. Never had any issues at all...and I am in the south florida heat, and at that time, the car was a daily.
Find your self a good tuner dude. The compression ratio will be fine. Run low timing,...it'll live a long time if your(and tuner) smart about it.
