supercharger yes or no?

[YellowGT5.0]

I have a 94 Gt with the following mods
-306
-forged pistons
-e303 cam
-ported gt 40 iron heads
-1.7 rr
-Ported cobra intake
-BBk CAI, shorties, 65mm tb
-24lb injectors/Maf
the compression is around 9.5:1, i still need to check exactly

After building this setup i've been driving it for a good year and want more power.
with the compression being kinda high i dont know if putting a S/C on it would create problems.
What do you guys think?

I say yes, that compression isn't too much higher than stock and they run s/c on stock engines all the time. You may have to run a little lower boost, but shouldn't be too bad. You could also call the company you are thinking of getting the s/c from and ask them what they recommend. I would also recommend a tune once you get the s/c on it to make sure everything's in check.

Ya I think 9.5 would be ok 9.0 is what stock is (if I rember right) so ya I think you would be ok

You'll be fine. Final compression with the GT40's will lower the compression most likely. GT40 heads are 65.5cc

As long as there is no blow-by etc.

I would put a blower on a 10:1 motor. Just gotta be careful...that's all.

I'd say yes.


9.5:1 isn't too high. Probably only be able to run about 8lbs of boost. If you do it I'd suggest bigger injectors and a tune.

I think it would be fine also, I know it's a different motor but I know a lot of 99-01 cobra guys running
8-10-even 12# on pump gas race on 12# and I believe theirs is 9.8:1 stock.

Yes.
