87SC/SS

I'm building up my 350 and converting it to TPI. I'm gonna be using speed pro lightweight fully machined hypereutectic pistons. The CR w/o the blower is 9.6:1, the heads are WP Sportsman II's (cast iron), Crane Compucam 2040 flat tappet, hedders, stock rods, stock crank, 4-bolt mains. I'm toying with combining a vortech s/c with nitrous. Sort of turning the nitrous into a intercooling effect for the s/c. I have two questions.

1. Will the engine handle it?
2. If so how much nitrous can I feed it?
I was thinking something like a Sneaky Pete.

I've never run nitrous b4 so I don't know how or at what RPM to use it at so any thoughts, tips or opinions would be appreciated.

Thanx
Brian

Well if you already bought those pistons....take them back...they won't last with the blower....you need forged pistons...much more reliable...

9.6:1 compression w/o blower...and guess what???...after you install the blower it will still be 9.6:1 compression...you will just have higher cylinder pressure's...

I would also consider a forged crankshaft and rods....

just my .02

Thanks for the reply. I looked into all forged rotating assembly but it was really expensive. If the hypereutectics won't handle the 8lbs of boost I'll just run less boost then.... I saw on your website that you have borla exhaust.. do you have any sound clips of it?

Thanks again
