Well now your talking big a$$ power! Check out www.cobraautomotive.com they have a dual (yes dual) Paxton setup for the BB FE fords. Lots of power and torque. fits under the cobra hood also. Priced at $8500 complete. They have a single setup also for a wee bit less. And no your not nuts we all want the power!G.:3DSMILE:

SUPERCHARGING A BIG BLOCK?

I think it looks outstanding. Very nice.
Anyone comment on how much additional power? |
What's the most amount of compression you can safely run with a supercharger?

MAXVELO,
Beautiful job! If I run out of HP I'll look you up :LOL: Chaplin, That's a question with many answers. It depends on the rest of the engine's specs and also how you are going to use it. Tom |
HP?
According to Weld Motorsports (Carl Robinson) the crate motor puts out 600+ on it own and 820 with the fuel injection and SC@ 8lbs. boost.:3DSMILE: :D

Chaplin,
Most start at around 8.5 and run around 6 to 8 pounds of boost. Most any engine will live under those conditions. When you start pushing over 8 you need to start getting pistons, rods, steel crank and on and on and on........ |
