The Truth about 318s

You are correct....anything below 10:1 is good for a minimum of 10 psi of boost..(I ran a turbo car with 28psi with 8.8:1 compression)..how long a cast piston lasts with boost is another issue, BUT....I know of a few turbo V-Eight guys with upwards of 600hp on cast pistons.

There was a guy on moparts who ran a procharger setup on a stock 360 for close to 2 years. He bought it from the wreckers and when it blew up he went and got another for $300.

He was initially runiing 5-6 psi and then cranked it up. Thats when the motor went bang..
