Well, I sucked a valve on Monday so now I get to play. I am going to put an all forged rotating assembly and a nice set of heads (between VT and Patriot right now). I have the common dilema of choosing stage one or two heads and 9.0:1 or 10.5:1. I don't think I'll have the money to do a turbo or supercharger system anytime soon. So NOS is a logic option.
My questions are:
1. What compression works best with NOS? I assume lower just like a blown motor. If lower, will the above built engine be able to handle a 100 shot for quite a while on 10.5:1 compression (I understand this is speculative, but input is always good)?
2. If lower is best, what about lower compression and stage 1 cams?
3. Can this setup hold a 150-175 shot safely (speculative again)? What is the highest shot I should run?
Thanks for the help
p.s. I'm not affraid of reading, so if you know of anygood write-ups then please post them (couldn't find any on this topic).
