you should bump up the compression to 9.3. anything under 15psi will be fine, and being on gas you will be even better off. will make ****loads more power, and probably run better than the 202 i mentioned above, even in an EH. how much boost are you runni

tell the blokes at work that they are fools. the engine will benefit from the higher octane, and if using a gra setup you wont lose as much power. (very minimal loss). Yes the 350 is a better motor, but what car have you got. the supercharger conversion w

grab an M90 off a supercharged V6. they go on ebay for around $500, and fab up a manifold, or modify an existing one to allow fitment. will go really well.
