pi headswap + supercharger
- Thread starter pacecar79
- Start date
compresion on 99-00 engines is 9.0:1. the 01-04 engines are 9.4 or 9.5, i can't remember which. a headswapped 96-98 will yeild 10.0:1. you can supercharge at 10:1, but it really isn't a good idea. if you get some bowl work done on the heads, you can lower the compression. ideally you want to be around 8:1 to 9:1 for boost.
10.1 to 10.5
and it is high, but if you get a s/c with a good tune and you dont beat on it, it will be ok (for a little while)

Just do the PI headswap then grind out the swirl dams and your compression will be right around the same as the 99+ GT's it might still be a little bit higher but it will be safe to run a blower on it then. If u do get a blower as soon as you can get forged rods because the ones in there suck and also forged pistons will help also.

How much are cometic head gaskets, and will that lower the compression down to where 99+ GT's are?

Do I look like a :taco: in this picture?
don't raise the compression and then add boost... the two are like... your hot mistress and your wife, don't ever let them meet.
