Default Possible forced induction build
Ok I have a forged 370 wiseco pistons scat rods stock crank that I built a couple years ago. It's carbed and I was going to put some nitrous on it but have just been dying to go FI. Cam is in sig and compression is 10.5:1. A cam change would be on the list but what else should I look into to go FI? I was thinking a blow thru setup possibly running e85 and inter cooler? Goal would be to make 700 whp. Is my compression too high? Thinking the e85 and inter cooler would help. Any suggestions are welcome

On e85 you will be fine, pump and meth would be OK at that power level as well, just need to watch timing obviously. I'm assuming good head gaskets and studs are already in place

I also need to mention my ring gap is .021" top and .023" second. What are the limitations on this?

Would 93 octane plus meth be a better choice than e85? Will just be running low boost around 10psi. Also thinking of just using the cam I already have
