12.5 cr and 13 lbs of boost! I have my block at the shop and the guy whos doing the work on it was surprised as i was. He did all the math and came up that my cr was 12.5. Aparently my stupid dumb *** did not pay attention when i bought these heads from gtp. I thought they were same cc as stock. I was wrong!
Well to make a long story short i was running 10-13 lbs of boost on a engine that was 12.5 cr. This motor should have gone booooom... But it did not. Now i know why my starter was cracked in half. And why she did not like any timming on the top half of the rpm scale.
Now for my question do you guys think a 383 lt1 with a cr of 10.0 will be able to handle 10lbs of boost on 93 octane ??
