Looking for a little more power
Hey guys,
I usually stick around in the carb forum or the tech general engine. The reason I'm here is that I just did a head/cam/ intake etc top end rebuild. While I was in there I noticed that my pistons were dished like crazy. After a little research I found that I'm running about a 8.75:1 compression ratio. After driving the car a little, I want some more power. Don't get me wrong, this car could probably take 80% of the cars on the road no problem, but I can still breathe when I floor it. I want your opinions on a Supercharger like this or Nitrous. Also where should I look for the best deals.
The specs on my car are now:
350 sbc low compression pistons
stock qjet carb rebuilt
vortec 64cc heads mild port and polish professional valve grind and springs and retainers to match cam
comp xe262h cam
1.52 ratio full roller rockers
edelbrock performer intake
plenty of suspension upgrades not relevant to this thread
Or, if you guys don't thing that supercharging is the way to go for me, I would like that input as well.
