Nowhere was it said this motor would be ran on pump gas and 22 psi. The thread was derailed. If on pump gas it will be ran along with alky and lower boost. 9.5 is fine for that.
Sorry. I was mistaken. The plan was maybe 23 psi boost on pump gas and alky as quoted from the first posting by the OP. I thought all this time it was 22 psi. Again, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding.I am about to order some pistons for my stage project, what compression is the best to choose, I don;t really think I;ll be going over 30 psi boost though on c-16 maybe 23 psi on alky and 93. looking at a 230 cam about or so in size.

I know you seem pretty sure that 9.5 will be 'plenty safe'. It sounded like some others weren't as sure.That would be no problem either. The converter would not flash high enough at 22psi if it was built for 30psi though. Still over 80lbs/minute at 22psi.

Take it from me, bison, sometimes you can't trust calculations, or sims. These engines can surprise you, sometimes.
Does this mean 20* boost will be risky on alky or the car will be brutal fast?9.5:1 with a cam like I described and 20* will be brutal with 93/alky.

At 22psi it should be about the fastest 93/alky build out there. The converter won't work well at both power levels though

norbs said:Its not a big turbo at all, nothing compared to a gt47 or pt88......

I don't know if I would run anything but C16 with that monster. Damn.
