Default Is this possible...?

H/C-11.5 to 1 car with 6lb Powerdyne making 500 RWHP safely? Reason for Powerdyne is the low second hand pricing you can get...Ebay, etc. Also looking for good street manners as a daily driver. TIA.

safly, NO
your CR is too high for FI, you would have to use racegas all the time.

a lot of tuning, it is possible though, with some water/alky or some type of intercooling yes. you would have to drop timing a lot down low for that high compression.

Sure it's possible, but only on YOUR car, definitely not on mine <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

What if i get the Combustion Chambers opened up to lower the compression? Then it should be possible, correct? Sorry for my lack of knowledge on FI.
