Guest Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 You could probably run 4-5 pounds of boost with that compression ratio. Luckily you already have forged pistons. The only wild card is your bottom end and the oiling system.I would talk to the TA Performance techs, they have seen it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Guy Posted December 1, 2002 Share Posted December 1, 2002 A 750 CFM carb is not big enough to feed your Buick properly. If it is a Holley, that is even worse! Put an 800 CFM Q-jet on it and save the big job. Nitrous is also an option ,that is cheaper and makes LOTS of HP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
