[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 16020834, member: 188865"] The compression just doesn't lend well to boosted intake charge. I had a race 5.4 that was setup for 8.9:1 compression, because it was made for boost. 12:1 even at very low boost pressures is going to be relatively unsafe under certain conditions (high intake air temps in the Summer, bad batch of fuel, high gear, low rpm, uphill is a recipe for severe knock). I took a serious look at supercharging, but given that I live in FL, I have concerns about doing it without lowering the compression. If at some point, there's either aftermarket heads that hog out the comb chambers to lower it or a combi of that and dished pistons, etc, I might consider it. At some point I think we all realize there's no end to this path, there's always someone with more power and honestly with all the bells/whistles, the car makes enough power to roll over the tires in just about any gear. Other than flat out street/roll racing and half mile racing, I'm not sure how useful a blown 350 is anyway. I've changed my mindset to accept the car is supposed to be a track car, not a strip car or a street car. Having gobs of power for highway/interstate rips is loads of fun, but detracts from the balance of the car and also as discussed really endangers the motor, even if it's setup to be ultra safe/conservative.
