Forced Induction Compression Ratios

Looks like Adam LZ has already lost his head gaskets. Not sure about it but it sure does look like it.

Given what the motor is pushing out HP wise, I believe you are right. It seems like he and his folks are playing catch up a little with this platform. I mean he clearly has connections/money to dump into it, but why not take a more measured approach and "measure twice and cut once"?

HE is a clout chaser. Plus sure his builders want to do their own thing and not listen to anyone

The machine shop must have a 3 or 4 axis CNC and the tolerances are a thousandth to 1/2 a thousandth. It has to be perfect.

Mazworx maybe?

I don't have the low end problem spooler was talking about, I think that's mostly credit to Seb's tuning abilities with the throttle response. From what Seb explained to me the main limiting factor to running higher boost is the intake manifold.

The manifold becomes a problem on low compression high boost builds. Once you go above 24 psi the manifold becomes a factor as well.

That sounds familiar. LOL
