to john, the compression isn't as important as the overall cylinder pressure. blowers and turbos deliver just as much cylinder pressure as nitrous.
if john was you, he would start at 150 and see how the car reacts to it. john's chevy II was 14:1 with a 250 shot. each motor reacts differently.
Thanks Wendy.
I think thats what I will do. Start with a 125,.. then work my way up until I feel uncomfortable or it blows.
Was just curious as to what others had to say.
So the adage is true,.. 500 at the wheels is pretty much the limit.
I know you made 577 on yours,.. but I'm going to hit it off the line with what ever shot I spray. I dont have the money to setup a progressive shot,.. and personally I dont think it will really matter with a little 306 anyway.
