Airtime: Talk to Dean Nickerson; he makes 1000 HP with our setup using one of his blowthrough carbs and 10 psi. Another customer made the same HP using EFI and 10 psi. They were both at 8.25:1 CR. Your compression ratio is too high for that much boost. We have put 3-4 psi on top of that much CR but it's an expensive way to make a little HP. What heads and cam are you using?
I had talked to them isky and gave it to nickerson when they built the 1050 this fall. I thought about giving the heads to jim v or nickerson to port them. this winter but money is to tight now.

No, I put my shortie lowers on Friday night. When I finished, I was give out and I kept thinking something doesn't look right??? I was missing the cavitation plates that bolt to the uppers. So, I have a set on the way......but I didn't figure I could get out of the hole without them....Smith's old 388 lost both of them one day up at the hill and we could not get it on plane!
