Default 370 8.8cr

I just ordered my pistons for my lq9, 30 over and 8.8 CR with 317 heads. Any ideas on how much boost i can run with 93 in the tank and an air to water intercooler. With water alky injection. I want to get 700rwhp do you think i can make it on this set up. T76 or T88. Not sure on the A/R yet.

If you wanted lots of power on pump gas why didn't you run lower compression.

That is when u get into custom pistons. I dont have a grand to spend on pistons. I think 8.8 is realy low.

You can but it will be close.

With the Alky kit it makes it easier for sure. I would suggest making the motor very alittle bigger so that you don't have to use the same amount of boost to get to the same amount of power.


8.75:1 cr 408 with a 93mm is my project right now.
