I agree, I think most if not all forced induction set-ups should have an inter-cooler.

You don't need the high-buck ProCharger intercooler. search the internet. I bet the plumbing costs more than the intercooler. BTW, on my last dyno run, we hit >18 lbs. boost and the motor didn't even flinch...lol. Still waiting for my Comp. cam...been on order for over a week...  |

I was always under the impression that if you can "hear" detonation, you are into potentially dangerous territory alreayd. Alsmot a case of too late. Ideally you want knock sensors (available for GenI SBCs???) to pick that crap up and pull timing long before you can hear them, especially considering open exhausts and other combustion violence.

I couldn't nor have I ever heard detonation, and I do have a knock sensor. But because of my fatty cam it says that I knock as early as 1500rpm under ligth throttle with the sensitivity all the way down. Need to get my Dad to design a circuit to get this thing to work right.
Big G, way ahead of you. Already searching E-Bay.

Make sure you can get CFM flow on the intercooler before you buy. You need at least 1,400. I used to design that chit so many years ago the parts are obsolete. LOL |

Yea, I thought I had only one piston with blown ring lands (that I could see). I pulled the rest and found 3 more. 
You know now that we told you this and you pull the rest--there will not be any more blown pistons. If you don't pull the rest out, you'll have at least 3 more blown pistons. It's a Catch 22.

Any time you have detonation like this, it can affect bearing crush. You may want to consider changeing all the rod bearings. Just a thought. Hate to see you put this together and then spin a rod bearing.
If you want to see how detonation effects bearings; take a ball peen hammer (round end) and hit a bearing right in the middle.
