I want to put a supercharger on my 408 but it's running 11.4:1 compression right now. It's a daily driver so I don't really know what compression to shoot for. Your truck is awesome.

I had an 11:1 408 with a tvs1900 and 8lbs of boost and it was great.

It can definitely work, and honestly speaking a centrifugal supercharger can even work better on a high compression motor since it does not build full boost except at redline, which means you can essentially run more boost than a PD blower, make more top end power but less low-end and mid-range.

On the other hand, you can have a custom cam specced for for a high static compression motor and boost, if the guy knows what hes doing he can mess around with the dynamic compression ratio to make it possible, not a cam guru here but can lead you to one.

lets hope it works out the way im planning it to

damn , thats one fast bitch. which shop you worked with on the truck?
or did you buy the engine assembled in USA?

if you are selling/donating any of your used parts to a less lucky GCC citizen id be happy taking them of your hands

BTW happy 40th national day! best country in the GCC

Just heard back from brent@driveshaftspecialist.com and I was told that the 5.0" aluminum driveshaft for my application would have a critical speed of 15,394 rpm!!! So it can take all the speed I can give it, and in any case I dont really want to ever drive this truck above 120mph since one of the main reasons I sold my ZR1 in the first place was so I dont end up killing myself.

lovely, blew my transmission!! Seems I wont pulley down for more boost, and just run the cam, throttle, exhaust and the rest of the mods.
