    At 8.3 CR I estimate under 700 HP at 8 psi with BDS competition blower.

    Using big valves, fully ported, (2.3/1.9) and 9.5 CR still under 750 HP.

    And with 9.5 and 8 psi with roots blower you will be getting real close to detonation problems without an intercooler.

    IMO you are gonna need Nitrous to get to 900 hp .................

    I est just under 775 hp with the natural 10.25 CR 540 drag race max power configuration .............

    .
    We have also changed his comp. ratio to 9.0 to 1.
    He has found different gas with a 98 octane rating.
    He called it street race gas??
    I am un-sure of this gas and have never seen it.
    So we are going to try 10-12 lbs. of boost.
    I have talked him into running an intercooler.
    I am a little nervous but he does have the MSD box for blown applications and the ability to retard his timing if he thinks he is into detenation.
    Will he make 900hp??
    I don't really know.
    Either way it is going to have plenty of hp for a street engine.
