And you said this is a PD blower? If so, good God, you're going to be re-rotating the earth.

Yes it is a PD blower off the zl1. I wonder how much power I'll make with 11.5 compression and 9 psi. Also I think I'll definitely do a dual fuel pump now lol so I'll probably be buying another walbro 450.

I don't think 98s have the bucket. I also still have a modified fuel pump assembly that was using 255s which I think I can get 2 450s on there or buy one. I know it has been done before.

Do any of you guys know how much the chambers in the LSA heads can be opened up? I read somewhere 75 cc but I can't find any concrete information on that. If they can this is what I was thinking about doing for now .07 thick head gasket lsa heads opened up to 74 or 75 cc which will put my compression in the low 11s or high 10s in compression in case I want to up the boost with a pulley mod and port the supercharger.

Not sure but it doesn't look too much bigger than any of those high rise intakes which I have seen in these cars. My wsq hood is pretty tall so I am sure it will fit under it just fine. I may have to trim the cowl which is fine too. Even if I have to lower the Kmember I am going to get the blower on lol.

Or, you could just make a nice hole in the hood.

Not going to do that to the WSQ hood it would kill the look lol. I have seen this in a 3rd Gen Camaro and a g8 with no hood cutting needed. when I get it I am going to measure it and my friend is going to measure how much space from his block he has to the cowl so I can figure out what clearance I have and how much more is needed if any.

Alright after talking to Martin I should get dished pistons getting a thicker gasket is not the way to go. I just need to figure out which ones to get. If I stay with Wiseco I haven't been able to find anything smaller than -11 for my bore and stroke so that may be what I get.

Where would -11 put you at compression wise?

10.3 with a ls9 gasket with 70cc heads. It should give me plenty of room for boost on e85 I could still run a thinner gasket if I want or have the heads milled a bit if I wanted to bump compression up later. I wish I could find some -5 ones for my bore and stroke that aren't custom pistons.

The combustion chambers can be opened up. Its tough to do by hand and keep them even without having the proper tools to measure.

That being said,What about having just the combustion chambers CNC'd???

That is what I meant by opened up, CNC'd. I wouldn't attempt something like that myself.
