question for engine builders dealing with boost i'm buyin a 402 forged shortblock and the plan next year is to put a supercharger on it. since i'll be running rings for boost, should i just wait to get the supercharger to even start the engine or should i run it N/A to get everything seated and break it in?
KN-
Way to kick *** and dream big
It'll be fine to drive it until the S/C goes on just not optimal because of the low compression and I assume boost cam.. Just make sure you can realistically afford to boost it because when I was looking at cars over 3 years a go I drove 2 with boost built motors that the guys could never finish and both were less than impressive......
Sorry to jack the thread but BV but where are you on your build? I haven't seen any updates on your thread recently........

yeah i've looked at the cost of everything and yeah it'll actually be next year when i get my S/C 
it sucks but it's what i have to do to pay for it. yeah it'll be a 9.5 to 1 compression iron 402 with a custom spec'd boost cam from predatorZ with some nice stage 2 243 heads on it and a roots style blower on top nothing big just a 2300
what are you talkin about no updates lol i just posted some pics of my axle on a jack the other day!!!!!! check in the racers lounge for my thread engine is coming out of the SS
