Maybe we should paint it white and call it snow ball.

Seriously,

Rodger can you call that bad ass engine builder of yours and ask what kind of money I'm looking at for changing those three parts.

Remember, the guys that built my engine said it would hold up no problem but they didn't know I was adding a procharger to the mix.

Come to think of it, I'm not sure what the compression with the custom cam I have installed. The cam I used it was apecified by the guys at AFR and Comp Cams.

Engine work reminds me of fabrication.... it always takes a long time to get the parst and install them.
If we need to swap parts maybe we should rush the engine over to them as soon as the procharger brackets are completed.

If that motor, including cam, was spec'd for N/A, then I doubt that is an appropriate cam profile to be run with a supercharger. You probably want to look into that as well.

And your compression must be on the high side I would think, also necessitating the need for forged/lower-compression pistons?

I decided to make the changes and avoid catastrophic failure later.

Speaking from Experience these project can get out of hand really quick.

Make sure your draw that line in the sand and try to stay behind it.

However drawing the line in the sand allows you the luxury of constantly moving it forward 5000 feet at a time.
