I'm running a 342, afr 185's, forged internal, and I just purchased a powerdyne supercharger. The supercharger is at 928 motorsports getting the full rebuild. I'm running 10.5-1 compression, and plan of running 9 psi with a water/meth injection. Does anyone have experience running boost at this compression level? If so what kind of numbers are you running? Any problems with this kind of setup that you experienced that I can avoid? Thanks for any input.

Run a very conservative tune. 10.5:1 is a lot of compression for boost, meth injection or not - let alone a stock block.
