Supercharger on my ARE 436 stroker......... I'm just curious.....for now.
Without changing my pistons to a lower compression, which is obviously the way to do it right, how much boost can be put to my engine right now the way it is and it be safe?
PSI?????
How much RWHP gain would it make?
11.3:1 compression is what it is, I believe.
Thank ya!

hmm i wouldnt do it at 11.3:1 that is just too high IMO.
you might be able to do 5psi but still your risking it, unless you use high octane all the time. you wont get out enough gains with the supercharger to be worth it.
Just spray a 100-200 shot on it and be happy.

I guess I'll wait awhile till I can have the motor refreshed with the proper pistons to do a SC'er, which is the goal. Vortech X-Trim or YS-Trim.
I plan to put a DP set up on it with a 250 or 300 shot in a couple months.
Thanks for the info.

People are telling him to run nitrous, but boost is the same thing. Either way you cut the cake you're going to be running higher octane race gas in it than you already are now. With 112 octane I don't see why you can't run an intercooled blower.

Here is what I would suggest, IMO. Setup the blower for 5-7 lbs and set your A/F to 11.0 to 1. This will keep you from doing any damage, give you bunches of safe power, and cool your intake charge all at the same time.
if you decide to drop the compression LS6 Truck head is the best route. You should have no problem selling your current heads, But that will only drop your cr about 1.3 pts. If you want to drop it more than that you are going to have to go back into the motor.
Hope that helps.

Sorry I see you posted 11.3:1 compression. I don't think you can really do much with that engine on pump gas... I've seen 11:1 motors get boosted but the owners ran 110 or 114 etc. at the track.
