Need to lower compression!!!

thicker head gaskets?

maybe have some one do some bowl work on the heads

if they are 60 cc heads you should be ok as long as you dont go over 10 lbs or so on the boost

why not some low comp pistons??....no use in selling a perfectly good motor and buying a different one with lower compression...

I told ya, you will be ok till 8-10psi, depending on inlet temp, which you will have to monitor by some sort of temp device to keep safe.

Or you can do it the EASY way, rip the heads off and open the combustion chambers ~3cc's, then get a slightly thicker gasket(not the most recommended thing to do)... and you will more than likely see 9:3:1... and that is plenty to work with, well BETTER than 9.8.1.

come to think of it, my cobra which is 9:8:1 from factory has put down 422rwhp with 8psi thru a blower, and i had plenty of air fuel to work with(i was still rich as a pig). also one of my friends got a cobra and hes planting close to 500rwhp on stock bottom end(97 cobra).

but all in all, you will be OK with your motor, just dont look for 15psi!

10psi(turbocharged) should be making damn near 550-600rwhp on a 400hp 347 combo(assuming that is what it SHOULD be making +/- 15hp)

Hey i got a set of thick (.060) copper head gaskets you could try... They are slightly used but copper head gaskets can be reused multiple times..

my pistons are supposed to be right at 9.69:1 and im pushing 10 lbs of boost with my supercharger... I run 91+ octain in it all the time.

8-10 psi will only satisfy you for so long. If your doing something that serious (347/T-70) you need to build a ideal setup to get the potential outta it.
Start with a real block (don't know what you have), then shoot for 8.5-8.8 comp. Otherwise it's a matter of time.
