How much will 4lbs raise my compression?
I was thinking about running about 4lbs of boost from a Powerdyne 6lb kit. My compression on my car is currently at 10.75:1, so how risky would it be to my engine if I add a supercharger? Also, what else would I need to add to get it to run right? (injectors, new rearend/transmission etc.)
Thanks for any info-I'll attach a list of all mods currently done to my car. And the reason i would go with the powerdyne is b/c my buddy will sell me his (brand new) for a good price-he's going with another setup
