Decking block cost??
Geez Bill, can you leave one thread to a natural aspiration discussion? Not everybody wants to drink the turbo kool aid. Some people simply want to build what they want and not what you want.
I said, "which is where he will need it to be
if he should ultimately run the hairdryer setup.
He may well never do that, but
if he does, after possibly finding himself unhappy with the results of a normally-aspirated engine, he
may have occasion to regret milling that block." That's all I was saying.
I also said, "If you can get the compression ratio you need without cutting the block, it will be a lot easier to change the un-swept volume at a later date if you should decide to change the induction system over to a turbo or supercharged system.
It's a lot easier to change the head than it is the block, in that instance."
Nowhere did I suggest that he should try forced induction. I don't see the harm in advising him a way to save money (and, time) in case he should decide to go that way at a later date.
That is ALL I did.
Please explain to me what is wrong with what I said. If you can find anywhere where I tried to convince him to change his normally-aspirated decision for this engine over to a different configuration.
I did not. All I did was to suggest what was perhaps a better plan of attack, that might could save him some grief, down the road, should he change his mind, later on.
If that's a bad thing, then I guess I'm guilty.
