Spray vs Compression I'm starting to think being really fast takes nitrous or boost. I can't afford boost, so how about nitrous?
I've got about 12:1 compression maybe more. Forged everything. Could I run nitrous? How much? What kind?
Don't say search!!! LOL Search sux from my crappy cellphone.

Well I'm talking about goin from high 10s to high 9s. Seems like N/A doesn't cut it. There are a few out there though running consistent mid 10s high 9s.
I just don't have the money to do it N/A. So I'm thinking about juice.

Everything quik95 said plus what is your quench distance?
Its totally dependant on your setup as to how much you can spray.
My setup is 13.6 : 1 and I'm going to spray a big shot, but everything in the engine is setup for it.
Take a Max effort N/A mill and you could destroy it with a 100 shot and the wrong tune up...

High 9's with nitrous with a 12:1 forged motor in an F-body should be a walk in the park. That CR is not a hindrance whatsoever. It just means you can light the fire later in the compression stroke.
With the small shot it takes to do that, all you need to be sure of is the quality of the motor build and the top ring gap.
It's so easy, it's CHEATING! ....right, Mikey?

If you want to go bigger than approx a 150 shot, you will want to pull the pistons and open up that top ring gap. You set up the ring gaps right, you will be able to spray a ton. Smarter folks on here can tell what the ring gaps should be.
Good luck!!

Your forge pistons will def help with the increased cylinder pressure yer gonna add. Should hold up with the temps but, setting up the rings on yer slugs r key for heavy hits. You'll do just fine with 100 shot easily, or even 150. Tune her and let her fly...
