Then you can drop all the pieces off at 80 Keane Ave W. Babylon NY and ZBerger will laugh at you and say why did you listen to JCPerf!!!!

I'm taking that as 'not advisable'

Assuming pistons are the original ones.

Hours on the engines?????

With stock head gaskets--No way, at least not for long.

Chad,
I have been doing a lot of research on how much, reliable, boost to run on a marine engine. With 7 lbs of boost on your HP 500 engine your static compression is a little over 13 to 1. What I keep reading is where you want to set your engine for long term reliability is around 12 to 1 Effective compression (Effective compression is the calcuation of your compression ratio + the amount of boost you are going to run) . I just looked at a chart looking to answer your question the most boost you want to run with your stock HP 500 pistons is around 5 lbs. This will net you just over 12 to 1. If you go to Holley's web site and search around they have a bunch of blower technical information.
I hope this helps you out.

Now that's funny $ht, I don't care who ya are :D

Greg, I don't mean to offend you but a boost level doesn't necessarily equate to a certain cylinder pressure. An engine that has a cam with 200 degrees of duration @.050" and pulley'd to 7 lbs of boost will not make as much cylinder pressure as the same exact engine with a cam that has 250 degrees of duration @.050" and pulley'd to the same 7 lbs of boost. A supercharger has to be thought of as another engine on top of the existing engine.

Richard,
You may think my answer is funny, but I didn't see an answer from you.
Chad is looking for advice, and as I posted he can go to Holley's website and find what I am talking about.

He said JC's post was funny, not yours.


He also gave advice/information. Cranking Compression is related to cam duration and I'll add also to the amount of timing you are running. Holley's site might give some basic tech info, but Holley does not build engines.
