This is just for fun and to learn as I have no where near close enough saved up for forced induction, yet. However say i did and ran a supercharger with the mods I have how much boost can you run with stock pistons, rods, etc? I remember hearing something about Ford using hyper-eucentric(sp?) pistons...? Anyway thanks!
Grady.could not have put it any better. However the amount the block can take also has to do with how high you are revving it. But I would say 500 to 600 is common. Thats not tio say its going to pop right away. But your taking your chances.
Just to be clear for folks that may see this info in the future
Are you talking flywheel or rearwheel HP
Grady
Good to see things which don't leave doubts
As for the range of 500 to 600 you talked about .........
Split the range at 550 fwhp and do the math
550 x .85 (driveline loss & stick trans) = 468 rwhp which is just about what
most peeps say is the point you wanna be concerned
again ... just a rule of thumb
Sure ... some have split blocks with less
and
Some have made more with no problems
Grady
idk if that was meant to be a smart remark but ill take it as no. Anyway, you cant say for sure the block is going to blow at X hp. but the 500-600FWHP is a good estimate. which yea like you said is ~450rwhp. Some people have held more some people way less. This is a really good link to an article that can give some good info.
