Help with suggestions for my Supercharger build

[1QUICKZ28]

I was going to go with the FP 1074's. I can get them at cost through work. Maybe I should spend the money for the cometics. I only want to hopefully do this once. Do it right the first time.

I'm sure for the most cases the felpros would be fine. Mine had a couple clean runs during tuning so I'm sure that didn't help. Thankfully when I had to change mine out I didn't have head studs so I didn't have to pull the motor. Not all of us have the engine bay of a truck like that Monte. Haha

Making you silky smooth...

Quench is very important in these motors you can leave a lot of power on the table if it is too much. As far as injectors go I would go as big as you can so you aren't wasting money. I would shoot for close to 9.5 to 1 unless you want to run some crazy boost, even then high boost can be with even with higher comp with right fuel and tune.

On a n/a engine quench is very important. On a boosted setup, quench becomes almost nonexistent due to the necessity of dished pistons.

I purchased some -31cc pistons to use with stock ported heads, but recently came across a set of TickFlow 195's for a hell of a deal. Plans are to send to Lloyd for him to do his magic. These have 64cc chambers so I should end up in the 8.5-8.9 :1 range depending on gasket thickness. I have a meth kit and I'm planning on using a FMIC setup. I'm debating on going with -26cc pistons to bring compression up to 9.5:1 area since I'll be running the meth injection. Just bought a set of 80lb injectors off a member on here. This site has been great to get deals on used parts. A lot of members have helped me out. Outstanding group of people on here that are willing to help out the LT crowd. Hands down the best sight I've been on.

I know you got a hell of a deal on the pistons. If you can work it out to land at 8.9-9.0:1 with what you have I would just let it bump. Tell Lloyd what you have and go from there. Let him get his hands on the heads so he can see if they've been milled in the past, this can all work to your favor. I'm at 8.5:1 and I can comfortably run pump gas @12# with no meth and I suspect at that low of compression I would be good for more. Unless its a max effort build I think what you have is going to work great

Fastbird_1995 you make good point on heads being milled. Never gave that a thought. I could have him mill some off to get me where I want to be too. Good point! Thanks!

Run cometics and forget it. they are worth the price, time and effort..

Don't anyone use the SCE copper gaskets anymore? And they are reusable also as long as you put some dowls in...but they don't tell you to use the copper sealer vs the blue......we had tried to get the blue ones to seal 3 times which was a biotch. Then someone seen what we were doing and asked what our problems was and said yeah blue sealer is crap. Tried the copper sealer and first time sealed. Heat cycled and never have had a leak and that was back in 2002.

But I did the firewire and had the block grooved is why I went copper gaskets and cometics weren't out then either.
