    Default Boost questions

    Hey every body Im doing my first boost build and my bases will be fourty over with stock stroke. Im using h beam rods and - 22 cc pistons all of which are forged I will be around 9 to 1 cr. How much boost could I run safely? Also what does every one use for their oil feed line?

    Blower or turbo? 9:1 is pretty good for a compression ratio for a lot of boost. Do you have any block modifications done such as O-Ringing?

    if you stud the bottom end, and its all forged i would say 15-18psi, any more and you would want to o-ring.

    Do you know what a studded 2 bolt main block is good for in terms of horsepower? Not to hijack but im pretty much in the same boat as the op other than I'm running a roots blower.
