Boost? Been there, done that. In fact, I am still doing it! lol
I went full circle and back to my roots. Old school (and yes I know boost doesn't only apply to new stuff) all the way!
Probably a real dumb question but ....

And aren't you already looking to make more power?Boost? Been there, done that. In fact, I am still doing it! lol

I totally forgot I have a 440 in the barn with forged pistons 9.3 compression... that will make it easier I suppose, I'm really just thinking of a badass for a Dakota r/t I have sitting around doing nothing
Damn it! You got me but in my defense, only because I can't lose to @MOPARMAGA ! lolAnd aren't you already looking to make more power?

When you gonna change to "The other Hard Member" under your forum name? lol
Lol, as soon as someone explains the how to do it part.
been playing a very long time with several combinations. We build do machine work on all types of race engines. Diesels, Gas, Methanol, Nitro , Procharged, Supercharged, and Turbo. We see several builds by customers and the carnage after installed. The one that blew the gaskets between every bolt was a Small block first picture.
Texting you now.... lol

Easier isn’t really the issue. A 9.3:1 440 on boost can make 900 on e85 without breaking a sweat. What’s your power goal? That is the question.
Thanks
That sounds just fine

Any aluminum head, really any camshaft that isn’t a smogger stock cam, any single plane intake, blow through e85 850 carb, s480 turbo on 12 psi.
That sounds simple I have most of that.
Thanks dude!
Don't make me pull the trigger! lol

I assume you’re asking me, space is the number 1 reason. Second reason is jet pump has two water outlet ports and I’m using both of them already. I’d have to pull the pump apart and drill/tap a new water source behind the impeller. Which I may do next winter when I go through the pump. Third reason is blow through carb. My air inlet temps weren’t crazy at 7lbs because I’m carbureted and the latent heat of vaporization of gasoline is magical. Not as good as methanol or e85 but there is a benefit to being carbureted. Lastly, we made the power I was after and did it on a safe tune up.

Jeez that's expensive.
Yeah, and that's why the trigger will never be pulled on that one..... lol
Yeah you could just buy my Dakota so I can't beat the tow pig lol

How do I give this a thanks, like, and agree?!?It’s the same situation you run in to with an NA engine. You just need enough octane for the combination. And you are correct 100LL will NOT be adequate. 13:1 with boost is methanol territory. And it’ll be awesome. I recommend not doing it because once you do you’ll never build an NA engine again, and you’ll be poor.
The goal is 1100hp N/A. Should be easy with 605 cubes. The rest is gravy.
