boost and stock compression.

guys im thinking about my future performance mods. some of you might know from other posts that i want to run a novi 2000 with a built motor.

i have some questions though. i was wondering how much boost can be run on stock compression? i am getting a built engine but i really dont want the compression dropped too low, because i dont want to lose a ton of power na.

i will most likely have to get block shipped over here and installed na for a while while i save for a blower. i dont want the car to feel like a slug during that time.

my next problem is i have stage 2 heads and miled blower cams. from what i understand my comprssion might be raised now a bit? so is there a piston that will lower the compression back around stock maybe a little lower? again i dont want it too low.

if i cant run 14psi on the stock compression then these other questions dont really matter. i will just have to save enough money to do it all in one shot then. either way it is going to take me 2 yrs to get this kind of cash saved. i just want to know what i have to do and what im shooting for, so it can motivate me to save. maybe then it could happen sooner.

sorry so long, thanks for anything you know.

i think i will get the short block built by mph and will probably buy his novi 2000 kit with a/a intercooler too.

i will be running the car on pump gas (93-94 oct.) if this makes any difference in some things i asked about.

sorry its a little hard to explain.

basically i want to run a blower on a stock compression car.

i want my built motor to be stock compression, if i can run 14 psi on stock compression.

problem lies here. if i get a motor built with stock compression i will end up with higher compression once my ported heads go on top. that would be bad with a blower and 14 psi.

so i need some type of pistons in the motor that will decrease compression only slightly under stock compression.

i dont want to use the pistons that titally drop compression because then my car will slow down while i save for the blower.

is that any better?

first off, thanks for the replys. they help somewhat.

about the heads and cams, i dont know i always heard that they up my compression just a little bit for some reason, maybe its not true.

so stock compression should be fine to run the novi 2000 at 14 psi from what im understanding. i will also probably have to run a 16psi pully to see 14 psi because of the heads and cams. however that shouldnt effect anything, in the end its 14 psi, right?

so ok i guess everything sounds good i guess there is a piston that can bring me down just a tad like droptop mentioned.

one more thing. droptop you said stocg compression is 9.3 to 1 and red gt said its 9.0 to 1. i always thought it was 9.0, but which is it? or is it because you have different year cars?

i was actually hoping to find a way to get a little bit out of the engine despite having a drop in compression.

i dont know anything about bores and strokes, but if one of them is not a major pita. and wouldnt cause any problems with the setup im running then maybe that is an option.

i dont like what i hear about the stroker kits, seems like alot of trouble. if i did get a bore, i would only want a tiny one, just to have a slight advantave over another gt with a regular built block. i wouldnt want an all out heavy bore. dont they create alot of heat or somthing? what are some down sides?

i also understand that all built blucks come with a tiny bore anyway, i want just a tad bit more to make a little power.

if not i was also considering the aluminium block for some weight savings. i know some things have to be changed, but i was told my builder could take care all of that. what do you guys think?
