Procharger on high compression

Hello

I've got a 383 with 12.5 compression. I've got Mahle Power Pak Pistons. Everything else is forged. Mahle told me I could run no more than 5psi of boost. I am assuming I would have to run only race gas though. Can the 4th gen F body's run race gas easily? I've got a Walboro 255 fuel pump in the tank. Stock fuel lines though.

Thanks

Its not a good combo no matter how you cut it.

Yeah I can't imagine trying to justify the cost of a blower and be limited to low boost. Pretty much a waste imo.

You want to do a power adder you'd be better off doing a wet kit.

Take it apart, change pistons/cam. Stud mains/heads then go have fun... Just my simple answer..

Ooh and don't forget to gap the rings (loose) /pull timing/colder plugs/ and over build the fuel system.............. How could I forget that?
