engine blew??

[brobaey]

kind of. I think I caught it before it went south. made two passes and something didn't seem right. So I tore it apart and the crank didn't roll straight.

you can get pretty high compresion with aluminum heads and a gnarly cam to run on pump gas. ive seen it done up to 13:1. but obviously some race gas and a twist of the dizzy and your getting 50+ extra hp.

I just completely changed the motor...totally different now.

nice i had an 88 to it was cool but i had to sell it

I think they last a while before you need to service them. I would go on Vortech's website and it should tell you all about it there.

well i was thinking about 4 linking it that should do good shouldnt it oh yeah now that you mentioned the supercharge thing how many miles are those things good for before you have to rebuild them

I would go with a blower. Vortech makes some nice units and you can get to the 600 HP mark pretty easily with the boss block you mentioned with some good internals. I would probably look to spend a good chunk of change to get to that mark though. Remember as you increase your power as well you will need to address traction issues.
