I was reading some of the information on supersix 4.0 tech info and I came accross something that kinda scared me. They talk about some issues with supercharging..
"We already know of blown head gaskets and cracked pistons on
supercharged 4.0 SOHC’s at only 8 psi."
"Supercharged setups really need to reduce the compression
ratio from 9.7:1 to 9.0:1 and the best way to do that is with high strength forged
pistons that are dished to reduce the static compression ratio to eliminate the
problems associated with high compression ratios in supercharged applications"
Im putting the 10psi intercooled Vortech and have heard of the guys on the board here talk about the same kit. even running more psi... Do you guys have forged engines or are you running 4.0 Stock blocks???? Should I be worried???
Apreciate the help..
