ok i know when u run a supercharger u have to keep compression low. if u were to run nitros would it be the same, or could u run it with high compression??????

 

The whole point of a supercharger is to raise compression. You have to keep it low if you are running stock internals. Nitrous is a favorite addition to a nice turbo or supercharger kit. I guess I am not sure what your question is.

 

ok when u have a supercharger it raises the compression under boost, therefor u have to have a piston/head setup that keeps ur compression low ( when not in boost). im building an engin right now and with the pistons im useing and the heads im running im going to have like a 10.25: 1 ratio. with that ratio i would boost a maximum of 8 pounds and thats pushing it. i want to know if would have the same problem with the nitous, being that my compression is kinda high????

 

Yes... the problem you'll run into is detonation from the increased cylinder compression. You can run the nitrous, but you must be able to retard timing and make sure you're AFR is dead on. And you won't be able to run a huge shot..... maybe 75-100. That's a pretty high compression, so be very careful. What kind of pistons are you going to run, I hope they are forged.

You don't have to lower compression on a S/C setup, you just need to retard more timing and can't run as much boost. I run 10Lbs on factory cast pistons and compression. No problems. The pistons are going to be changed to forged, but just for good measure. And I'm going to keep thestock compression.

yea im gona run forged pistons
