Theoretical Boost Question
I'm about 10.7CR now on my all aluminum LS motor. I have forged pistons and rods, high end fasteners all around, so even with the nodular crank, it should be able to handle 600+WHP all day long without breaking a sweat. I'd never even really want that in a street car honestly, but just curious, how many pounds of inter cooled boost from a centrifugal blower it would take with 91? I'm thinking not whole lot, maybe 6psi max.

You'll need more than 6 psi, have to account for power loss of the blower, even at the CR. Also I don't think you could/should run more than 6psi at that compression.
600hp is a hoot though.

Thanks. At least for now, definitely going to keep it NA. If a proper exhaust and a retune gets me to a 420, and especially with more under the curve, not just peak, I think I'll be happy. It's fairly ridiculous for a streetcar as it is at 390WHP, 3,100lbs, and relatively short gearing.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

Ran accelerator for years to move octane to about 93. My compression was about 11.2:1.

7lbs max intercooled G. And I melted a piston staying within their limits. Plus, it depends on the type of forging. 4032 forging isnt good enough for boost. You need the 2618.
Stick with a chemical supercharger for days when you want to tear it up in 3rd gear

I was at 600rwhp with 7-8psi of boost on 91 with my ls3. Stock crank too, they'll handle 900 HP so don't worry. About 10.5cr here
