Safety Can Someone tell me how much PSI is safe for a 10:1 engine. Also, what do you have to do, besides get forged internals? And how do you come up with that calculation for boost/compression?
EDIT: Also, what do you do about the ocatne levels? Like what kind of fuel do you use?
Thanks

Re: Safety Get some low compression heads, buy some $1800 dollar TEA 6.0L heads w/73cc chambers, and be lower than 9.5:1 compression on a stock motor...
Speed Inc. sometimes has packages on these heads for $1600 bucks....
Keep your eyes open...
You could probably get away with 10psi on a good tune, that would be safe....

Re: Safety Thats what I've been wanting to know myself. What is included in the package besides the heads for $1600? or what ever the price is.
Also, is it a good idea to run the stock head gaskets or do I need something better or different?
