Why? So you can recommend a turbo? LOL You sly dawg.
Am~I~ that transparent??? :blob:
Well, he said he wanted to kick some ***.... That's a lot easier to do with some help from a supercharger, turbo, or nitrous system, given the built-in breathing limitations of the /6 head, don't you think??? The fact that the cast-iron head was originally designed for a 170, and was never changed, and the narrow bore center spacing necessitates some pretty small valves for a 39 cubic inch cylinder, makes building "kick-*** power" from a truly streetable combination a pretty steep uphill battle, and that can be frustrating and expensive.
Nitrous systems would seem to be detail/bothersome on a daily driver/street car, and that leaves superchargers and turbos not cheap or easy, but probably the best choice for an application like his. He's already spent a lot of money for some really good parts....
Now, the question is, are the pistons he bought going to be compatable with forced induction with regard to compression ratio, or would he need to sell them and get a lower-compression set???
