[QUOTE="lietuvis91, post: 1587310, member: 9116"] So I went on a bit of an impulsive splurge over last black Friday for my 1995 GT and ended up with some parts that probably don't work all that well together. Here's what I've got: Ford Racing 363 shortblock Canfield 195 heads with a 58cc combustion chamber Procharger P1x kit with an upgraded 3 core intercooler Some of you probably already noticed that shortblock and the heads leave me with rather high compression. 10:9-1 to be exact. If my goal is to run 93 octane, how much boost do you think I can safely get away with. The Kit I ordered with a pulley for 8lbs on my 302, which I guess will get me a little less boost on the 363. The pulley is a cheap fix, so not too worried about that. At this point I can: 1) Build it and run low boost 2) splurge on new heads with 68-72cc chambers I know E85 is the answer here, but I don't want to switch to E85. It's too hard to find and goes stale quickly compared to non ethanol 93. If anyone's boosted something with this compression, would be great to hear your story. All thoughts welcome and appreciated.
