If you have a built motor with flattop pistons pushing 20psi of boost would that combo work. Or would the compression be to high? Thanks

nope the compression ratio would be to high you will need dished pistons and anything close to 9.0 CR would be good

You're not going to run a blower on an engine with flat-top pistons.

Well, flat top would be a good 10-1. You could run FULL timing and C16 race gas and it would be a 700HP+ beast, blower depending. As far as pump gas, I really doubt you could pull enough timing to get it to run on 93. Go 8.5-1 CR for that setup...that would be the best.

I think I read somewhere that SHM likes to use flat tops on his FI cars... but that doesn't say much comming from him
