To much compression?

I have a 350 30 over with flat top pistons and a set of vortec heads. Does my motor have to much compression to run a vortec blow through super charger. My car has a 670 street avenger on it for now.

Re: To much compression?

the only way know your real compression is to cc the heads and piston.
imo blow thru carbs are garbage , dont waste your time and money on carbs.
EFI is the only way to go with forced induction.
